'It Is Over For Magu, Buhari Can Not Send His Name To Senate Again': Dino Melaye by stephenduru: 7:44pm On Mar 18, 2017 |
Melaye: Why Buhari Can't Re-present Magu's Name to Senate Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye has said that following the Senate rejection of the nomination of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on two different occasions, President Muhammadu Buhari cannot validly re-nominate the same candidate again. Melaye while commenting on the debate in the media about whether Magu can continue to act as EFCC boss in spite of his failure to be confirmed by the Senate or if the President can renominate him, Melaye said there is a provision of the Senate rules which would not allow members consider Magu for the same position again. Citing Order 131 of the Senate Rules, Melaye said after the rejection of Magu's nomination, his candidacy is considered lapse and therefore advised the President to consider a fresh nominee who is qualified, in terms of experience, integrity, knowledge and temperament to lead the anti-graft agency. Order 131 of the Senate Rules states that "nominations neither confirmed nor rejected during the session or within 21 working days in the case of Ministerial nominees shall be returned by the clerk to the National Assembly to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and shall not again be made to the Senate by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria". The Senator who insisted that Magu did not impress anybody including those Senators who would have been sympathetic to his cause during the confirmation hearing in the Senate urged President Buhari to look for a replacement and avoid actions that may result in violation of the laws of the land. "Those suggesting to the President that after failing to scale the confirmation process twice, the President should leave Magu to be acting are only recommending violation of the law, disrespect for due process and perpetration of illegality. All these will only undermine democracy and constitutionalism in our country. "Those drafters of the law who made the provision that the Senate should confirm the nomination of the EFCC chairman did not make any mistake and nobody should observe the law in the breach by getting a person into that office who has not been confirmed. Magu is not greater than the law creating EFCC. Magu is not the last messiah. He can't be the only competent person for the job out of 170 million Nigerians. Should he voluntarily decline the appointment today, will EFCC fold up?", the Senator asked.

With or without Magu, with the Northernization policy of Buhari, he will still appoint somebody from the North to head the EFCC, and to continue from where Magu will stop by arresting his political enemies. 73 Likes 4 Shares |

This guy is a dimwit! So a standing rule of the senate would supercede the constitution of the FRN which doesn't give a limit to d number of times a person can be represented for an office by d president for confirmation by the senate!! I don't blame him,they now feel they are dealing with a mentally incapacitated president who probably doesn't even know when somebody sneaks in to draft a letter on his behalf and signs it!! Or they may b dealing with a double faced president who not wanting Magu,knowing how good he is at d job,who cud dig one day and find out more dirt perpetuated by family and relations of the president & with overwhelming legal view now agreed that Magu can be represented as many times as possible,PMB and his antiMagu cabal,now boxed in a corner,av now dug up this standing rule from their asses to find d last reason to use to prevent Magu from becoming substantive EFCC chairman. This conspiracy to stop Magu may finally expose PMB for who he trully is,unless he sends back his name again for confirmation. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

The Senate is bound by its rules. Since they cannot reconsider a matter already considered and voted upon in plenary, that puts paid to any plan to re-present Magu to the Senate. They're over and done with it and really, no sane person should advocate or support a senseless back and forth in the subject. It cannot be that Magu is d only qualified person to head d EFCC. If he drops dead tomorrow (God forbid) then what happens? Will the EFCC be shut down forever? The President failed to act in time by sending Mugu for confirmation immediately after nominating him in acting capacity. Why wait for about 8 months within which time Magu would've been exposed by d nature of the job and by his own corrupt n thieving tendencies too? The Presidency should consider it their failure, cut their losses, nominate someone else and let the Senate screen and confirm if they will. 19 Likes 1 Share |

Magu's performance that day was very poor. Besides, it will be stewpid of President Buhari to even present him again after that damning report from the DSS. We claim to copy our democracy from USA and I ask if a US president will even ever present a personality that has been so grossly indicted by the FBI or CIA to congress for appointment. Only a foolish illiterate president will do that and I won't be surprised if president Buhari does it 24 Likes 3 Shares |
