Rotimi Amaechi confirmed as Minister despite petition against him

The APC senators who remained in the senate after PDP staged a walk out, have confirmed Rotimi Amaechi as a minister of the Federal republic of Nigeria. The senators rejected the recommendation of the Ethics and priviledge committee's which recommended that the Rotimi Amaechi should not be confirmed as Minister because of the corruption charges that he is yet to answer to at the appeal court.

    The PDP is being over emotional here. Why deny him confirmation while he hasn't been pronounced guilty by the court of law? If the court finds him guilty of the petitions levelled against him at any time after assumption of office as a minister, his ministerial appointment can be terminated. What's the problem?!

    The Youths of this nation can only weep because our leaders have made black white in a broad day light. The ethics committee set up by the same house and not PDP said a man brought before him should not be confirmed minister based on the available fact before him and the senate President and Apc will undermine that report and confirm him . I have followed the screening properly and i must be honest it is laughable to the world, it only shown how much we are not sincere with what we preach. A husband of a lady under screening is the one to first ask a question and the all you will here is take a bow and go when he should take a back seat and let other members do the needful. etc i am sick of this nation

    Its a pity. And then our leaders will expect the average man to honest law abiding citizens with integrity when they themselves do not even know what integrity is.. Why confirm someone with so much allegations of corruption surrounding him? I bet u, if Nigeria was their own personal company they wouldn't even confirm him as a gateman but yet he is good enough for a country of over 170 million people

    Linda, I am ashamed to be a Nigerian . Shame on those APC senators. The land will never forgive them. A nominee never paid tax but as soon he was nominated, went ahead and paid all his taxes and they all had the same date in October. The Senate cleared him , even after objection by some sane people. The nominee will be paid with tax payers money isn't it? A nominee earned above 60 million in 2014 and paid only 50,000 naira tax, these same people ignored it while this nominee will be made Minister and paid with tax payers money. Last month, I was paid a salary of 395,000 naira and 65,000 was taken as tax from me.Today , Amaechi was cleared despite all the allegation against him . Their sense of morality should have told them to allow this man to clear himself in court before confirming him. Lo and behold , I watched them with disdain quoting and reading just to cover up the allegations and even go against their rules that anything in court should not be deliberated. Any sane person expected them to say, clear yourself in court even though we know how the court case will come out because I am sure this is going to be one of Nigeria's most corrupt administration. We are back to the days of Obasanjo's regime. Quarter democracy, three quarter military regime . WHAT A SHAME NIGERIA! NIGERIANS ARE HELPLESS!!!

    The beauty of politics at play, you will agree. The expression "when Bush comes shove" is aptly Nigerian because in this beautiful country, when two siblings go for a meeting to resolve a knotty issue and as they walk out of the meeting venue smiling and exchanging banters, then, obviously one of them had not told the other the truth. Conversely, when they walk out of the venue and one of them appears not to be satisfied, obviously too, one of them has refused to accept the truth. Politics is about intrigues! PDP should have known this.

He has old model cars but when wike the wicked comes to Ph as a minister he wld shut ph down with heavyily armoured G wagons and enough escorts more than a sitting Govenor..
