Breaking: Nigeria Lawmakers Fail To Confirm Obanikoro’s Ministerial Nomination

The Nigerian Senate failed to conduct the ministerial confirmation hearing for Senator Musiliu Obanikoro scheduled to take place on
Wednesday.

The ministerial confirmation hearing was not listed in the Order paper of the senate, this led to it being rescheduled for another date that is yet to be made available.

According to our sources, the postponement was to enable the Senators debate the Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper preparatory to the passage of year 2015 budget today.

Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, including six other ministerial nominees, was reportedly scheduled to be screened by the senate.

It would be recalled that Obanikoro's nomination, by President Jonathan, had been under scrutiny from the opposition APC following the alleged role he played towards the rigging of Ekiti State governorship election that led to the emergence of Fayose as governor.
