There was a slight frenzy in the Senate on Monday afternoon, after a lawmaker moved a motion for the suspension of the screening of Festus Keyamo, former minister of Labour and Employment.
Senator Darlington Nwokocha, member representing Abia Central Senatorial District moved a motion for the suspension of Keyamo who is a ministerial nominee from Delta.
Nwokocha’s motion was seconded by his colleague from Abia-South Senatorial District, Enyinnaya Abaribe.
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio thereafter subjected the motion to a voice vote but the lawmakers were divided on the matter.
The red chamber immediately erupted into a rowdy session.
Nwokocha had accused Keyamo of disrespecting and accusing the 9th Senate of being corrupt.
