This online media platform gathered that after the screening of the fifth nominee on Saturday, the Senate Majority Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele moved for an adjournment of proceedings till the next legislative sitting which is Monday.

He added that the security screening for both Keyamo and Mahmud were yet to be completed because their nominations came late.

“May I move that we step down their own confirmation hearing till Monday, which is the next legislative day?”
