Umahi, who was conducting the affairs of the day in the Senate was called to exit and reappear for screening when the house went into committee of the whole.

After he read his brief profile, Akpabio informed that, “You would rejoin the Senate until you are confirmed and assigned into a ministry.”

While motioning to Umahi, he said, “If you Google the name Dave Umahi, you will read everything about him.

“He was a very outstanding governor, performing governor for eight years, was a member of the group that produced the Senate president and in turn he became the deputy leader of the Senate.

“Let me join you and my colleagues to thank the president for finding one of us worthy to be nominated,” Akpabio said.

Umahi then rejoined his colleagues after he was told to take a bow and go to direct the proceedings of the upper house.
