Musiliu Obanikoro's ministerial screening put on hold again

For the second time in a week, the Senate have refused to deliberate on the ministerial nomination of former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, who resigned last year to pursue his governorship ambition. He was nominated again by President Jonathan but APC senators have vowed to make sure he doesn't become minister again.

According to reports, the Senate cleared four ministerial nominees today but shifted debate on Obanikoro and two other nominees to next week.

    Aside APC vowing not to allow him bcom a minister, he still has the allegation of rigging hanging over him. Until he can prove his innocence, I support APC's stand on his issue. Linda take note!

    Yes I like that. APC senators should continue to unpose the motion! I support you and all the youth of Nigerians support APC senators. Nigerians wake-up, u & I know that PDP Government. are bad & they re not suppose to be voted in again to rule this country Nigeria, let us make a #change# so that we will be free from this evil we are seen almost everyday in Nigeria, & for how long are we going to be swimming inside corruption, insecurity, darkness & poverty? U can see the way they recycle themselves? So wake-up & join #ihavedecided to vote for #change#

    smh - is he the only LAGOSIAN qualified to be minister? even though he is being investigated for partaking in rigging election in Ekiti using the military.

    UK Ministry of Defense says it has information about the missing Chibok girls but cannot share it with Nigeria because according to them, revealing details of what it found about the whereabouts of the abducted girls would clearly damage its relationship with Nigeria and other allies. saiBUHARI

    Is it that Koro is trying to blackmail Jonathan? Is Koro the only person in lagos state that is eligible to be made a minister? The evil that men do will surely live after them. Koro can not hold any political office unless an investigation is carried out on the Ekitigate tape. Why are people so shameless. Jona wants to use you to rig Lagos, that's why they need you at defense ministry again. God will not allow you.
