Ministerial screening: Drama as Melaye tells Keyamo to recite national anthem There was a mild drama on Friday when the senator representing Kogi West, Mr Dino Melaye, asked the Director of Strategic Communication for the All Progressives Congress Campaign Council, Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN), who is a ministerial nominee, to recite the second stanza of the national anthem. The scene played out on the floor of the Senate when Keyamo, a ministerial nominee from Delta State, appeared for screening. While asking the nominee questions during the screening, Melaye started by describing Keyamo as his good friend and that their relationship dated back to years. “I want to ask you as a qualified lawyer and a man who is even qualified for the office of the Attorney General of the Federation. Peradventure the President sends you to the Ministry of Justice with all your experiences, do you think in the last four years, the power of the Attorney General met these three conditions: public interest, interest of justice and need to prevent abuse of legal process?” After the questions, Melaye then asked Keyamo to recite the second stanza of the national anthem. “I just want to say that as a versatile minister, I know you to be intellectually mobile, you recite the second stanza of the national anthem,” he said. However, the senator’s request was met with a thunderous “no.” But Melaye stood his ground even after his microphone was switched off.
