The lawmaker when asked whether the Senate is still going to confirm those yet to be confirmed said, “The question raised about them is an ongoing issue. So, once the Senate is satisfied, definitely, if we need to invite them to the chamber for the re-confirmation and re-screening, then we’ll do that.”
Recall that the Senate did not confirm El-Rufai, Senator Abubakar Danladi from Taraba State and ex-Nexim Bank Managing Director, Stella Okotete (Delta State) on Monday.
The Senate led by Godswill Akpabio on Monday approved and confirmed 45 ministerial nominees after a voice vote.
However, the red chamber withheld the ministerial confirmation of El-Rufai and two others pending “security clearance”.

The others are still awaiting security clearance.”
Clarifying the issue Adaramodu said, “If security is not satisfied, Senate cannot be satisfied. It depends on what security agencies and the person that nominates them say.”
