The Nigerian Senate on Monday rejected the nomination of former governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Abubakar Danladi (Taraba) and Stella Okotete (Delta) due to security matter.
The Red chamber cleared and confirmed the nomination of 45 nominees sent to it by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and began screening since Monday last week.
Senate President, Godswill Akpabio explained that the three nominees, were not confirmed due to lack of security clearance. He, however, didn’t confirm if the Senate will continue with the clearance if and when there is positive light from the security people.
“Three others are awaiting security clearance” Akpabio said
