The Senate on Tuesday rejected a motion by Senator Sani Musa (APC, Niger East) seeking to allow the Minister of Defence nominee, Lt.-Gen. Christopher Musa (retd), to “take a bow and go” without rigorous questioning, citing his distinguished military career and previous role as Chief of Defence Staff.
The motion was opposed by several senators who insisted that all nominees, regardless of prior public service, must undergo full screening in line with parliamentary tradition.
