VIDEO: APC Spokesman And Ministerial Nominee, Keyamo Take A “Bow And Go” After Igniting Arguments In The Red Chamber Over Past Actions
Written By Oshiobugie Omo-Ikirodah
Today’s screening of ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo, triggered a heated debate among the Senators leading to a closed-door session. The commotion began when Senators from Abia state, Darlington Nkwocha and Eyinanya Abaribe, tabled a motion invoking section 88B, calling for the Senate to postpone Keyamo’s screening on account of his past “public ignoring of summons from the national assembly”.

The chamber was in uproar for about 10 minutes following the motion, prompting Senate President, Godswill Akpabio to intervene and restore order. In line with Senate rules, he called for silence while standing to address the situation.
Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, at Akpabio’s behest, moved two resolutions. The first extended the Senate sitting time beyond 2 pm, and the second put forward a proposal for the Senate to dissolve into an executive session.
Both resolutions passed, and Keyamo’s screening was subsequently postponed. Akpabio indicated that the closed-door session was necessary “to iron out an issue of national concerns.”
After the closed-door session, Keyamo’s screening resumed. It was noted that his clearance came after an undisclosed meeting between Senate President Akpabio and President Tinubu. Amid the previous controversies and arguments, the Senate finally allowed Keyamo to “take a bow,” a phrase commonly used to indicate a nominee has been approved without rigorous questioning, thus confirming his ministerial appointment.
