The  scheduled screening by the Nigerian senate of former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi as a minister  could not go on today.

It was scuttled by the  Committee on Ethics and Privileges and Public Petitions.

Chairman of the committee, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, told the Senate that the report of the petition against Amaechi’s nomination as minister was not ready.

Anyanwu noted that because of the screening exercise on Tuesday, the committee was not able to put the report together.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, mandated the committee to ensure that the report is ready on Thursday.

It in effect means that his screening may be rescheduled to Thursday.
