A ministerial nominee, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, collapsed on
Wednesday while being screened on the floor of the Senate.
During the interrogation, Lawal, who was obviously
exhausted, abruptly passed out. Concerned senators raced to his aid and
promptly dialed for help.
As soon as the incident occurred, Senate President Godswil
Akpabio was heard requesting water and sugar to revive the ministerial nominee.
“Water, water! Can you give him sugar and water? Can someone
bring water and sugar? Please, call Dr Wale!” Akpabio exclaimed.
He also asked the cameramen to leave the chamber as the
senators tried to save the life of the ministerial nominee.
He was taken to the hospital at the time this report was
filed and his condition remains unknown.
Abbas Lawal from Kaduna State was screened today alongside
Jamila Bio Ibrahim from Kwara State and Mr Ayodele Olawande from Ondo State.
Collapsed, really?
