‘I’m Sorry’ – Keyamo Humbles Himself Before Senators After Rowdy Session Over His Screening

Festus Keyamo has apologised to the Senate over his perceived disregard for the ninth Assembly.

The immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment and a ministerial nominee tender the apology at his resumed screening at the senate on Monday.

CHECKPOINTCHARLEY had reported that earlier, Darlington Nwokocha ( LP, Abia Central), moved the motion requesting the suspension of the nominee’s screening.

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, then called for a closed session.

Immediately after the session, he russhed to the Villa to see President Bola Tinubu.

On resumption of screening later, Keyamo explained that he had in the ninth Senate apologised to both chairman Senate committee on Labour, Employment and Productivity, Senator Godiya Akwashiki and his counterpart in the House of Representatives.

He said, “ I apologise to the Senate. I am sorry, I am sorry and I am sorry.”

“Regarding that programme, the account was handled by the World Bank. So, we, the head of the agencies, never saw one kobo. We only generated the list and the money was paid directly to the people’s account.

“Every detail of that account was captured and kept in a file. All the records of the beneficiaries and their data are in the ministry.”
