Ministerial nominee from Kaduna State, Balarabe Abbas, who collapsed during screening on Wednesday has said that he slumped as a result of exhaustion.
Bring to mind that, President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, wrote the senate seeking the confirmation of Balarabe alongside two other ministerial nominees, Jamila Ibrahim (Kwara) and Ayodele Olawande (Ondo).
Balarabe who spoke with journalists after the incident, stated that 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.
