Lia Mohammed Brings Fun to Senate’s #MinisterialScreening

Full of mischief, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed ensured there was a bit of drama and laughter at the ongoing ministerial screening at the Senate which held today.

Lai Mohammed was one of President Buhari’s nominees who came on to face the Senate’s #MinisterialScreening after Lt. General Abdulrahman Dambazau, had been cleared to bow and go and was followed by Amina Mohammed.
Lai Mohammed’s surfacing was greeted by loud shouts of ‘bow and go’ to which he responded by bowing repeatedly.

However, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, told him to introduce himself.

After his introduction, Senate leader, Ali Ndume, moved that Mohammed should bow and go but Saraki insisted that the APC spokesperson say a few words after saying everyone in the Senate knows Alhaji Lai Mohammed who hails from the same state as the Senate President.

Mohammed took center stage and said: “I might have ruffled a few feathers in the course of my duties, it wasn’t personal.”

“I believe four years is too small to stay in opposition, they might have to stay longer. It is service to be in opposition but its higher service to serve in Government.”

After saying a few more words, Mohammed bowed and left the upper chamber although some PDP Senators were visibly annoyed by the move.
