While, the list can be changed, Amaechi has been spotted at the senate in the company of Dakuku Peterside.
Ex-governor had been excluded from screening a number of times mainly owing to “internal politics” and the fiasco of the senate committee on ethics, privileges and public petitions to give its review on a probe of him.

Amaechi was supposed to have stolen N70 billion of Rivers funds while he was governor in a petition presented to the senate by George Sekibo, senator representing Rivers east.

This is not the first time, while, that former Rivers state governor has featured on the order paper for the screening without undertaking the exercise.

The Senate move into a closed session.
