On Wednesday, Nigerian Senate President Godswill Akpabio chastised fellow member Senator Osita Ngwu for referring to Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as “beautiful.”

During Wednesday’s screening of the newly appointed ministers on the upper legislative chamber floor, Senator Osita Ngwu introduced Mrs. Ojukwu and called her attractive.

On Wednesday, Bianca read her credentials in front of the Senate and went through her screening on the Senate floor.

The Senators then questioned her over her candidature for the position of Minister of State Foreign Affairs.

Ngwu, the senator for the Enugu West District, began by praising Bianca’s attractiveness when Akpabio opened the floor for questions, which drew criticism.

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

Akpabio interjected, “Restrict yourself to the resume. Forget this word beautiful. She didn’t put in the CV that she is beautiful.”

Following a chuckle among the parliamentarians, Ngwu went on to praise the nominee’s qualifications and reputation.

Enyinnaya Abaribe, the senator for Abia South, also spoke, stating that there was no question about Biance’s competency and performance.

The “mother” of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, was nominated as a minister by President Bola Tinubu, which Abaribe praised.

“By bringing an APGA person to be a minister has already started a unity government and national integration,” Abaribe said.

After that, the nominee was requested to bow.
