After reading out the report, Senator George Sekibo said the petition against Amaechi is an allegation and should not be amended by any Senator.

He said: “We’re joining President Muhammadu Buhari to fight against corruption, I hope his followers join him to fight against corruption too.”

Senator Jide Omoworare then interjected, by referring Senator Sekibo to the Senate Standing Rules, which states that the Senate cannot decide on the matter, since the petition is still in court.

Senator Anyanwu takes the floor saying that due to the report of the C’ttee on Ethics, The Senate has no right to recommend confirmation.

After the back and forth between the senators, President of the Senate, Saraki rejected the report of the committee, and approved the nomination of Rotimi Amaechi, as a minister.
