The Nigerian senate is set for a showdown over the confirmation of Rotimi Amaechi as a minister of the federal government.
The red chamber will resume the ministerial screening of President Muhammadu Buhari's nominees on Tuesday and Amaechi's fate is expected to be decided during plenary.
While PDP senators have allegedly resolved to frustrate the confirmation of former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, their APC counterparts have vowed to ensure that Amaechi is confirmed.
The PDP senators are said to be worried that with the confirmation of Amaechi as minister, he would wield so much influence and power in the politics of his native home state, Rivers, if a re-run is to be held.
The report of the Senator Samuel Anyanwu-led Senate Committee on Ethics Privileges and Public Petitions, on petitions against Amaechi, is also to be considered today according to reports.
