| Musiliu Obanikoro |
Nigerians are divided over the confirmation of the nomination of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro as a minister by the Senate on Wenesday.The nomination of Obanikoro by President Goodluck Jonathan, was greeted with protest, especially by Senators from the opposition, All Progressives Congress, following his alleged role in the Ekiti election. The three senators from Lagos state (the state of origin of Obanikoro) also pettitioned the leadership of the Senate, urging for the disqualification of his nomination.
However, the David Mark-led Red Chamber confirmed his nomination, even as APC senators staged a walk-out.
Below are some of the reactions from the social media;

Where are the naysayers? Go and return Tinubu’s money and stop your pen attacks on Obanikoro. Your worst nightmare has just begun in Lagos.

You should have demonstrated your angst when Obanikoro was nominated but you chose to hope against hope that the Senate will reject him.
Omo Loogun @Lemisegra
So did all APC senators vote against Obanikoro’s nomination?

If generational shift is what they’re championing by throwing up characters like Fayose, Obanikoro, etc then I’d rather stick with d old

Dear GEJ, by nominating Obanikoro despite everything, you have passed a message across loud and clear. I will respond on 28/03/2015. Thanks.

How can NASS listen to the audio of #EkitiGate tape and still proceed to insult Nigerians with the approval of Obanikoro? Something is wrong
Rosanwo @rosanwo
Why worry? Obanikoro has fulfilled the requirements to be a minister in a typical Jonathan administration. #Nigeria

Re: Obanikoro, the joke is on Nigeria…
Lola Shoneyin @lolashoneyin
If it’s true that Obanikoro has been confirmed as a minister, I’ll be shocked for a minute then wonder why I expected anything different.
