The Senate on Monday, erupted into a rowdy session after a lawmaker moved a motion for the suspension of the screening of Festus Keyamo, former minister of state for labour.
A Senator representing Abia Central Senatorial District, Darlington Nwokocha, moved a motion for the suspension of Keyamo, a ministerial nominee from Delta State.
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 the 9th National Assembly and accusing the last Assembly of being corrupt.
Keyamo was a former Minister of State for Labour and Productivity under the then administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
