Balarabe Lawal, the ministerial nominee who collapsed during screening yesterday, October 4, has blamed the incident on “exhaustion.”
The native of Kaduna State, who was screened alongside fellow nominees, Jamila Ibrahim (Kwara) and Ayodele Olawande (Ondo), said he is “alright now.”
While the Kaduna native was unable to take questions due to the incident, his nomination was confirmed alongside his fellow nominees.
The screening followed President Bola Tinubu’s letter to the Senate read on the floor of the legislative chamber on Tuesday, seeking its confirmation of the nominees.
