Senate begins screening of Tinubu’s ministerial nominees with ‘bow and go’

The Nigerian senate has begun screening of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ministerial nominees

It could be recalled that the president had last week Thursday, sent the much-awaited list containing 28 names to the senate with the promise to send another batch “soon”.

The constitution mandates the president to appoint at least one minister from each of the 36 states of the federation.

Although the screening was to commence at 11am, it started hours behind schedule.

However, the first nominee to be screened was Abubakar Momoh from Edo State, where where he promised to serve in any portfolio assigned to him.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio subsequently asked him to “bow and go” because he was a member of the House of Representatives.
