A Senate spokesperson had claimed the era of 'take a bow' was over for presidential nominees appearing before the Senate.

The Senate has asked a former governor of Benue State and ministerial nominee, George Akume, to ‘take a bow’ and not answer questions from lawmakers as part of his screening to become a minister.When lawmakers tell a nominee to “take a bow” during screening, it means the lawmakers deem he/she is fit for the position that the person was appointed and such, ask little or no questions.

“Those who usually will be asked to bow, this time around we will try as much as possible to ask them so they explain to the public what they intend to do.“We believe all the nominees of the president are qualified,” Mr Sani said. When it was the turn of Godswill Apkabio, he was asked to introduce himself and make a comment after which lawmakers began to call for him to take a bow.
