postponed from Thursday to Tuesday next week.
Amaechi who was expected to be screened
yesterday alongside some of his counterparts on
the ministerial list, former Governor of Lagos State,
Babatunde Fashola; Managing Director of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Dr. Ibe

Clearing up the speculations, the spokesperson for
the Senate, Sen. Dino Melaye in an interview on
Thursday said that Amaechi ‘s screening was
rescheduled as a result of the inability of the
committee looking into corruption petitions against
him to produce a report.
It will be recalled that Chairman of the Senate
Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Petitions, Sen.
Sam Anyanwu on Wednesday told the members of
the senate that the Amaechi’s petition report was
not ready, which prompted the Senate President, Dr.
Bukola Saraki, to direct that the report be made
available on Thursday.
