Balarabe Abbas, a minister from Kaduna State, has explained that he slumped during the ministerial screening on Wednesday because of exhaustion.
Recall that Abbas, who was one of the three ministerial nominees sent to the senate for for confirmation by President Bola Tinubu collapsed during the screening exercise before being revived.
Speaking with journalists after the incident, Abbas said he was exhausted.
“I’m alright now. I’ve been treated, and I’m alright now. It was basically exhaustion.”
Balarabe, shortly after he concluded his introduction, collapsed, with the senate president, Godswill Akpabio, calling for a closed-door session.
Balarabe Abbas was later confirmed by the Senate alongside Dr. Jamila Ibrahaim and Ayodele Olawande.
