It seems that trouble is not over for Rotimi Amaechi, the former governor of the Rivers state who is set to be screened by the Senate tomorrow, October 20.
The Committee on Ethics and Public Petition, which will officially present its report to the Senate tomorrow, may have advised a stay of action on Amaechi’s screening based on the difficulty of his case.
One of the members of the committee led by Senator Samuel Anyanwu disclosed that members took knowledge of the white paper succumbed to it by the incumbent Rivers state government, which accused the former governor and the advantages and disadvantages of other requests against Amaechi.
The recommendation is tentative til some issues are addressed. The committee will be meeting today to conclude on the final report.
Seemingly identifying the result of the committee’s probe, Amaechi wrote the leadership of the Senate counseling it to discountenance the White Paper accusing him, disagreeing that it lacked the force of law.
The Senate will on October 20, Tuesday, commence the screening of the left 18 ministerial appointees, the majority of which were in the second list the president sent.
Those to be screened are: Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim, Claudius Omoleye Daramola, Anthony Anwuka, Geoffrey Onyeama, Brig-Gen MM Dan-Ali, James Ocholi and Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, Okechukwu Enelamah, Muhammadu Bello, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, Aisha Abubakar, Heineken Lokpobiri, Adamau Adamu, Isaac Adewole, Usani Usani Uguru and Abubakar Bwari Bawa.
