Why I slumped during Senate screening – Balarabe
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG) of Kaduna State, Abbas Balarabe, has revealed why he slumped during his Senate screening.
On Wednesday, while being screened for ministerial appointment, Balarabe slumped, leading to the adjournment of the screening process.
Concerned security officials immediately rushed to his aid while senators watched in disbelief.
In explaining the incident, Balarabe said he slumped due to exhaustion because he had a sleepless night preparing for his screening by the Senate.

He said: “It is basically exhaustion. I got the news of my nomination yesterday and I had to come from Kaduna. There were so many things to do which I attended to throughout the night.
“What happened today is as a result of pure exhaustion”.
Balarabe thanked the Senate for their understanding, particularly the senators from his state who had all gathered around him and the medical team who took care of him.
He said he is alright now, and that nothing is wrong with him.
“What I experienced was pure exhaustion which can happen to anybody”, he added.
