#Ministerialscreening: Chief Audu Ogbeh, Fayemi screened, asked to takea bow

Former Chairman of PDP and APC chieftain Audu Ogbeh has been screened.
While addressing the senate, he said he will revolutionize the
agricultural sector by ensuring we have quality seeds to cultivate and
also improve on the nutrition of livestocks.
He said in 35 years to
come, most of us will not be here so it is important that Nigeria gets
the agricultural sector right. He was asked to take a bow by members of
the senate.

The Senate also screening Kayode Fayemi.

During his screening, the former governor answered quite a number of questions.

Reacting to claims that he left a heavy debt burden in his state while
he was governor, Fayemi said he borrowed to offset debts owed by his
predecessor, Segun Oni and also to develop infrastructures which he
promised his people during his election. He said the debt figures being
brandished around is false.

Reacting to a question that he spent unwarranted sums
of money to build a government house during his tenure as governor,
Fayemi said he met a 2 bedroom apartment government house and so decided
to build a befitting government house. He said the government house was
a multipurpose house. He denied claims of buying a N50 million bed in
the Ekiti state. He said there is even no N1.5 million bed in the Ekiti
government house he built. He dared anyone to bring forward an invoice
showing that he paid N50 million for any bed in the government house.

“I
challenge anybody who claims that I bought a bed for N50 million to
prove it. Anyone one who knows me personally knows that I am not given
to frivolities. Not even a bed of N1.5 million is there. I 
everything behind when I left. All I did was to build a befitting
government house for the state.”

Answering questions on how he will handle the education crisis in
Nigeria, Fayemi said we need to do more about Nigeria’s teacher quality.
He said much needs to be done to make public school education
attractive. He also said we need to do more on our curriculum as well
as enrollment of students particularly in the Northern states.

He advocated for a better judicial system. He asked that people should
be prosecuted for Boko Haram activities.

He was asked to take a bow and go.
