Lai Mohammed who bowed to PDP leadership three times, APC leadership four times, bowed six times before Senate President Saraki, a gesture that elicited further applause.

Senate President Saraki then announced, “ the nominee before you Distinguished Senators is from Kwara State.”
It was apparent that the gesture was well understood by the lawmakers.

He then asked if Senators have Mohammed’s CV. There was deafening “yes, yes, yes” in the chamber.

Even before Saraki could conclude, Senate Leader, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, stood up from his seat and moved that “Alhaji Lai Mohammed is very well known to this chamber. I move that he should take a bow and go.”

The chamber became some what rowdy as PDP senators, in a way, opposed the motion.

Senator Saraki said that Mohammed should tell the chamber a little about himself in line with the convention of the Senate.

Mohammed complied and introduced himself, adding that he was in the chamber to seek the support of the Senators to be confirmed as minister, saying that it demands higher service to be in government.
