The Ex Minister, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro was confirmed today as Minister representing Lagos state, but before his confirmation, a supremacy battle between senators serving on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and the All Progressives Congress, APC, played out on Wednesday at the upper chamber of the National Assembly before the lawmakers eventually confirmed Obanikoro as minister.
It was observed that notwithstanding the various points of order raised by Senators Bukola Saraki, Gbenga Ashafa, Babajide Omoware against the confirmation of Obanikoro, the Senate went ahead to conduct the screening of the former minister of state for Defence after which he was confirmed.
Trouble started when the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Gorge Akume, omitted Obanikoro’s name from the ministerial list he read to his colleagues at plenary.
