Drama As Akpabio Cautions Senator Praising Bianca’s Beauty During Screening

Senate President Godswill Akpabio cautioned Senator Osita Ngwu for praising the beauty of Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu during a ministerial screening on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Wednesday.

Bianca, like six other ministerial nominees screened by the Senate, read her credentials before the red chamber and was subsequently quizzed by the lawmakers.

The lawyer, businesswoman and beauty pageant titleholder was screened for the post of Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.

When Akpabio opened the floor for questions, Ngwu, who currently serves as the Senator representing Enugu West District in the 10th National Assembly, started by applauding Bianca’s beauty to which he attracted a rebuke.

“Mr President, the beautiful nominee standing before us,” the lawmaker said.

“Restrict yourself to the resume. Forget this word beautiful,” Akpabio interjected jocularly.

“She didn’t put in the CV that she is beautiful,” he added.

The conversation between Ngwu and Akpabio caused a ripple of laughter among Senators.

Ngwu thereafter proceeded to laud the profile and competence of the nominee.
