Earlier, the furucinovel reported that the fall of Kaduna senator Balarabe during his screening on Wednesday caused chaos on the Senate floor.
After roughly 15 minutes of his screening process, Balarabe, who was proposed as Nasir El-rufai’s replacement as the former governor of Kaduna State, passed out.
However, it was heard that the recently confirmed minister has become stable.
