But the Senate President, Bukola Saraki,who announces correspondences
 from the president at the beginning of plenary,before the consideration
 of any other items in the day’s business, could not announce any letter
 from the President during <span data-term="goog_1444051812">Tuesday’s</span> session, indicating that there was no such list at his disposal.Muhammed Buhari failed to meet up with his earlier 
promise of submitting list of nominees to the Senate before the end of 
September. The president had assured that the list containing the 
nominees into ministerial offices would be submitted to the Red Chamber 
latest by September 30,for onward screening and possible confirmation.The development prompted the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP senators, 
through the Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, to seek 
clarification. Akpabio, PDP, Akwa Ibom North West, raised a point of 
order, under matter of urgent importance, to find out why the Senate 
President had not announced the president’s letter containing 
ministerial nominees.As Saraki attempted to answer Akpabio’s question, Deputy Senate 
Leader, Ibn Bala Na’Allah, APC, Kebbi South, raised another point of 
order, where he explained that the day was still young, saying since the
 day’s session ends by <span data-term="goog_1444051813">12:30pm</span>,
 there was still the hope that the president would transmit the list of 
ministerial nominees to the Upper Chamber before the close of the 
session.Akpabio,who noted that the nation’s newspapers in the last couple of 
weeks, have been awashed with stories of ministerial appointments by the
 president, asked the Senate President why he received the list from 
President Buhari and was hiding it from his colleagues.He also said since the day ends by <span data-term="goog_1444051814">12 midnight</span>,
 there was still hope that the list could come before the time. But the 
Senate President, who was thrown the question, could not provide answer,
 as he over-ruled Senator Akpabio, asking that the next item in the 
day’s agenda be introduced.
