Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is holding a meeting with the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The Informant247 gathered that Akpabio visited the president shortly after the members of the Senate went into closed-door session in resolving the issues raised against a ministerial nominee from Delta State, Festus Keyamo
It was learned that a Senator representing Abia Central Senatorial District, Darlington Nwokocha, had moved a motion for the suspension of the screening of Keyamo and was seconded by Enyinnaya Abaribe, the lawmaker representing Abia-South Senatorial District.
Nwokocha had accused Keyamo of disrespecting the 9th National Assembly and accusing the last Assembly of being corrupt.
However, Akpabio subjected the motion to a voice vote but the legislators were divided on the matter.
He endorsed the point of order from Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele asking the red chamber to go into closed-door session to resolve the issue.
Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), was Minister of State for Labour and Productivity under the then administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
