Drama As Melaye Asks Keyamo To Recite Second Stanza Of The National Anthem

There was a mild drama at the upper chamber on Friday as Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district, Dino Melaye asked ministerial nominee Festus Keyamo to recite the National anthem.

“I know you to be intellectually mobile, I want you to recite the national anthem,” he tells the nominee.

President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, overruled Melaye’s request stating that it is not a question.

Keyamo is the 28th nominee that has so far been screened by the senate.
