Senate began on Monday to screen Acting President Goodluck Jonathan's nominees for his new cabinet, whose rapid formation would ease political uncertainty in the nation.
Some of the nominees that have been screened are Fidelia Njeze, representing Enugu state and Adetokunbo Kayode of Ondo state.
The screening of former information minister, Professor Dora Akunyili, however elicited a lot of emotions from the senators.
Senator Alhaji Kanto Bello questioned Professor Dora Akunyili’s actions during the resolution that made Dr. Goodluck Jonathan Acting president as well as her comments regarding the president’s health and absence from office.
Her screening was cut short by the uproar elicited by the questioning and was subsequently adjourned to continue tomorrow.
