THE Senate today, suspended discussions of the report of Committee of Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions which has been laid to begin the Screening of former governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.
Amaechi entered the Chambers at 12.27pm in company of Oyegun, Governor Okorocha, others. Drama, however, ensued when Senators of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Sen. Godswill Akpabio raised a point of order, stating that content of the report of the Senator Anyanwu-led committee should have been made known to the Senate, before Amaechi’s screening.
Akpabio noted that the PDP-caucus in the Senate had reached a resolution not to ask Amaechi questions.
By this statement, the Senate was thrown into a frenzy of sort.
This is even as the drama heightened with fierce opposition from PDP Senators, when Senate Leader, Ali Ndume pointed that that the report on Amaechi had already been laid before the Senate by Senator Anyanwu, adding that copies will be handed to senators shortly.
Ndume, however noted that being a former lawmaker, Amaechi should be allowed to take bow.
