Debate on Keyamo led to the suspension of the session of the Senate of Nigeria
The Senate of Nigeria has stopped the process of identifying the ministers which was expected to be completed today, after the heated debate between the members of the council during the evaluation of the lawyer Festus Keyamo.
This heated debate broke out when a senator drew the attention of the parliament on what he called the insult of lawyer Festus Keyamo to the parliament, when he was a minister in the former Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The member of parliament said that at the time Keyamo, who was in charge of the recruitment program in the 774 local governments of Nigeria, ignored the advice presented by the council and refused to accept the invitation of the council to answer questions related to the programme.
This prompted the member of parliament to ask Keyamo to explain why he despised the parliament at that time, and immediately the debate broke out, which led the president of the senate, Godswill Akpabio, to adjourn the session of the parliament and storm the presidential palace with his entourage. to meet President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Up to this time, it has been reported that the speaker of the parliament and his entourage have left the presidential race, but there is no information on the position they have reached.
So far, it can be said that the parliament has successfully identified all the names of the ministers except Keyamo who is being debated.
The list of 47 ministers includes about 10 former governors, former senators, economists and lawyers with supporters of the APC party from different sectors.
Among the ministers who worked with Buhari, only two were able to return, including Heneken Lokpobiri who served the former president's first term and Festus Keyamo who served his second term.
