PDP lawmakers stage walk-out as Senate confirms Amaechi

Former Governor of Rivers State, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, whose ministerial nomination had been entangled in controversy, has finally being confirmed.

 This was after the Senate rejected the report of its Committee on Public Petition which had recommended for the nominee not to be confirmed in view of the fact that a case is pending against him at a competent court of law.

However, before the confirmation, the PDP senators staged a walkout after it became obvious that the Senate President was going to put a question on the recommendation of the committee.

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.
