Watch Video Of Dropped Ministerial Nominee Arriving For Screening Just Before Her Name Was Struck Off
Maryam Shetty, a ministerial nominee from Kano state, was at the Senate for screening when she got the news of being dropped.
She was replaced with a new nominee, Dr Mairiga Mahmud also from Kano.
Accompanied by some associates, the dropped nominee drove into the National Assembly Complex in a black SUV.
Dressed in a black flowing gown with a red head gear, Shetty had a sun shade on her face.
In a video, the former nominee was seen posing for photographs with some persons before being led away.
Earlier, her name was sighted on the Senate’s order paper and she was among those lined up for screening while her documents had been sent ahead.
Another nominee from Kano State would now face the upper legislative chamber for screening in her place.
In a letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and read during plenary on Friday, the President nominated Dr Mairiga Mahmud and Festus Keyamo, former Minister of State for Labour and Employment, as ministers.
Meanwhile, the screening of the ministerial nominees is ongoing at the Senate.
