Ministerial Screening: ‘Senate cannot discuss petition against Amaechi,’ Melaye

This is coming on the heels of the postponement of Amaechi’s screening by the Senate, due to some administrative hiccups, to Tuesday, October 20, 2015.

The Chairman, Senate Ad-hoc Committee on Media and Publicity, Dino Melaye has revealed that the Senate cannot discuss the petition against former Governor Rotimi Amaechi.

 

Melaye said “The committee has a one-line report that the matter is in court and that in compliance with our laid down rules and regulations, any case that is undergoing judicial remedy cannot be discussed."

 

Adding that “We have distanced ourselves from it and the report will be presented on Tuesday by the grace of God. I assure Nigerians that former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, by the grace of God, will be screened on Tuesday.”
