ECCLESIASTICAL SCREENING: SENATE KEEPS EL-RUFAI'S AFFIRMATION OVER SECURITY CHECKS.....8th August 2023.....written by reigns

The name of the quick past legislative head of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, was on Monday missing from the rundown of the clerical candidates affirmed by the Senate.

Likewise missing on the rundown was the name of Congressperson Abubakar Danlandi from Taraba State and previous Nexim Bank Overseeing Chief, Stella Okotete (Delta State).

The senate endorsed and affirmed 45 out of the 48 chosen people sent by President Bola Tinubu.

As per faultless sources in the Senate, the unverified candidates are presently going through security checks.

One of the sources noted, "In view of the discoveries, the candidates are presently going through security checks, having discovered a few things against them."

Another source let The PUNCH know that, "We are noticing them and we accept that there are a few things that are implicating against them. Thus, we have sent their names back to the leader for essential checks."

Proving the source, the Senate representative, Yemi Adaramodu, made sense of that the Red Chamber affirmed 45 names, while three others were all the while going through additional administrative activities.
