Today wednesday,the Senate deferred the Screening of ex Governor Rotimi Amaechi because of the inability of its Committee on Ethics,Privileges and Public Petitions to submit its report on the petition against him.The Chairman of the Committee Sen.Sam Anyanwu,while briefing the senate,said that the committee could not meet on tuesday folloing the late adjournment of plenary.Anyawu said that as at the time of adjournment of plenary,most of the members of the committee were too tired to meet.He promised that the committee would meet on wednesday so as to finalise the report on Amaechi and submit on thursday to enable his screening.Another source said that Amaechi's nomination is being opposed by ''Integrity Group'',which petitioned the Senate alleging that Amaechi had not answwered questions on alleged financial misappropriation when he was governor of River state.Although the Committee met on monday,they could not deliberate on the petion as the allegations contained in the petition were said to be before a court of competent jurisdiction.Among the nominees to be screened are Se.Chris Ngige,former Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola and Ibe Kachikwu.One more photo below.
