There was a rowdy session in the Senate on Thursday following the screening of an ambassadorial nominee, Reno Omokri.
The Senate’s screening session descended into a heated confrontation as two lawmakers exchanged harsh words over Omokri’s consideration.

Tension broke out when a motion had already been placed on the floor recommending that Omokri and others be asked to take a bow and leave.
Senator Ali Ndume insisted that the motion must be seconded before any comments could be entertained.
However, Senator Adams Oshiomhole strongly objected, insisting he be allowed to speak before the motion was seconded. He argued that Omokri’s nomination could not be glossed over, citing what he described as ‘raging issues in the public domain’.
