    Confirmation Of Ministerial Nominees: PDP Senators Hold Secret Meeting

    SenatePeople’s Democratic Party (PDP) Senators today held a crucial secret meeting believed to be about taking a position on the confirmation of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and 17 others as ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    The confirmation of 18 ministerial nominees, including Amaechi has been slated for Thursday.

    Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, deferred confirmation of the nominees after the Senate screened five more nominees on Wednesday.

    Those screened on Wednesday included Mr. Okechukwu Eyinna Enelamah (Abia), Prof. Anthony Anwukah (Imo), Mohammed Musa Bello (Adamawa), Adamu Adamu(Bauchi) and Ms. Aisha Bello (Sokoto).

    The Nation quoted a source who attended the meeting to have said: “you know we have just concluded the screening of the remaining nominees. We need to meet to ask some critical questions on some of the nominees. We need to take collective decision as a caucus.

    “Some of the nominees impressed, others did not. Some of them are controversial, others are not. We need to resolve and agree on our voting pattern. We are a caucus and we should be seen to vote as a block. It is normal in every political arrangement.”

    Asked whether Amaechi’s issue came up following the opposition of PDP Senators to the former governor’s screening, he noted that “nothing was foreclosed.”

    However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senators are said to be determined to ensure that all the nominees are confirmed.
