SENATOR OBANIKORO,CLEARED TO BE RE-APPOINTED AS A MINISTER BY THE SENATORS TODAY.

                                        Today wednesday,Senator Musiliu Obanikoro was cleared by the Senators as a Minister after some Senators kicked against his appointment.The whole Chaos began when Senator Mark called on Senator Abdul Ningi,the leader of the Senate to kick off the the screening by reading the names of the four ministerial nominees scheduled for screening.The mention of the name of Obanikoro was met with shouts of No,no,no,by the APC Senators.This threw the Senate chambers into a rowdy session for some minutes.After order was restored,APC  Senators tried to stop the screening of Obanikoro.Senator Gbenga Ashafa,representing Lagos called the attention of the Senate President to a report of a suit against the confirmation of Obanikoro as a minister in a Lagos High Court by one Kemi Lawal.But the Senate President said he has not been served and he cannot act on a newspaper report.After much so much talks and delay on his screening,Senator President,went ahead to screen Obanikoro and three others.While the three other nominees were asked to take a bow and go,a last minute  effort to stop the screening of Obanikoro by the APC Senators led by Senator Solomon ended in failure.Two previous attempts to screen Obanikoro had failed as a result of opposition coming from the APC Senators.The opposition Senators opposed Obanikoro,who was a former Minister of state for Defence over the alleged roles he played in the rigging of Ekiti state gubernatorial election as revealed in an audio tape leaked by a military officer.Well rumor had it that the real reason Obanikoro was cleared today as minister was the fact that he would have to withdraw the suit he filed to challenge the result of the gubernatorial primary in court,and he will also support Agbaje.The other 3 ministers screened and cleared are Hajia Hauwa Lawan {Jigawa},Kenneth Kobani {Rivers} and Joel Ikanya {Taraba}.
