Lawmakers on Monday were in a rowdy session over the screening of a ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo, SAN.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria who was a former Minister of State for Labour and Employment under former President Muhammadu Buhari, appeared before the Senate to be screened and confirmed.
In the process, Darlington Nwokocha (LP Abia Central), moved a motion requesting the suspension of the screening of the nominee.
He reminded Keyamo of how he insulted the lawmakers from both chambers during his tenure as a minister.
The motion was thereafter seconded by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, (APGA Abia South). The lawmakers are currently in a closed-door session.
However when the plenary resumed, Keyamo apologised to the Senators.
He said, “I apologise to the Senate. I am sorry, I am sorry, and I am sorry.”
