Nigeria ministerial screening: Senate goes tough over Rotimi Amaechi’s "take a bow" request

According to news on wednesday, The screening of the immediate past Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi caused a mild rowdy session Wednesday on the floor of the Senate.



Amaechi has requested the house to extend the “take a bow” privilege in his favour as a former Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
However, Senator Danjuma Goje who raised a point of order called the attention of the House to rules regarding the “take a bow” privilege. According to him, the privilege is only accorded former members of the Federal Lawmaking Chamber.








"Amaechi had never been a member of the National Assembly, but he was a two-term speaker in the Rivers House of Assembly".
But finally, His request has been granted at the time of this report. He has taken a bow and left the chamber happily.
