The Senate erupted into a raucous session on Monday as a senator moved to suspend the screening of Festus Keyamo, former minister of state for labour.
Darlington Nwokocha, a Senator representing Abia Central Senatorial District, moved a resolution to suspend Keyamo, a Delta State cabinet nominee.
Enyinnaya Abaribe, a senator representing Abia-South Senatorial District, seconded Nwokocha’s proposal.
Following that, Senate President Godswill Akpabio put the proposal to a voice vote, but legislators were divided on the issue.
The crimson chamber erupted into a raucous session right away.
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.
