However, in a twist of events, a lawmaker Sen. Darlington obstructed the process by moving a motion for the Suspension of the screening exercise of the former minister.
Nwokocha who drew the attention of the house and Festus Kenyamo to a time he, (Festus) insulted members of the National Assembly after appearing before them on request in 2020.
The National Assembly members had been involved in a messy clash with the former minister over issues bothering on the distribution of the 774,000 jobs under the former President’s grassroots employment scheme at the time.
This motion was however seconded by APGA Senator, Ehinanya Abaribe.
