Award-winning Nigerian journalist and Arise TV presenter, Rufai Oseni, has described the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate as a ‘bloody daylight joke and a scene from Baba Sala’.
The senate commenced the screening and confirmation of the 28-man list this afternoon.
A two-time member of the House of Representatives, Abubakar Momoh, who was the first ministerial nominee to be screened before the Senate, was told to ‘bow and go’ after answering only one question without any further screening.
Similarly, former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, after reeling out his resume and achievements, noted that his passion for Nigeria propelled him to accept the ministerial offer.
A lawmaker in his comment said Wike is the best in Rivers State and an inspiration for the entire 5 million Rivers people.
The Senate President, GodsWill Akpabio, thereafter told him to take a bow and leave.
In his reaction, Rufai, in a post via his Twitter page, frowned at the move, stating that the ministerial screening looks like a scene from the stage play of veteran actor, Moses Olaiya, popularly known as Baba Sala.
Oseni Rufai tweeted: “A nominee was born in 1980 and had his first school certificate in 1989.The nominee started his primary education at the age of 3.”
Regarding Wike, Oseni said: “Over 5m people are with a nominee, take a bow. Here we go again. Our screening is a bloody daylight joke. Our ministerial screening looks like a scene from Baba Sala!, probably a scene from Baba kwete oni le goolu.
“No depth in our senators questions. Nigeria sha, the standards are low.”
