The Senate has said it has been vindicated on the rejection of the appointment of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/punchng.com/breaking-senate-celebrates-as-court-affirms-power-to-reject-magu/amp/ 15 Likes 1 Share

baralatie: Keep shut! Magu just like any of those senators has every right to hold public office. Every Nigerian has that right. Everyone knows the motive behind Magu's rejection, so keep your bullshit talk to yourself alone. 46 Likes 6 Shares |

Omololu2121: Anti-corruption war of course.. Over 70% of those senators are under investigation by Magu, Saraki inclusive. They want Buhari to appoint a puppet they can control. But guess what.. the West (US, UK and co.) are behind Magu. 38 Likes 7 Shares |

It's quite unfortunate that the deaf man of Aso Rock is too dull of hearing and understanding and neither does he obey the law of the land. There is only one exit for this Pharaoh of our nation and time, and that is destruction in the red sea. Unfortunately, he will go down with his aides and unrepentant zombies. 14 Likes 1 Share |

baralatie: That act is flawed. Efcc chairmanship need not require Senate confirmation. An anti-graft agency with the power to investigate anybody should stand alone without external influence. Not even Senate. 7 Likes 1 Share |

baralatie: You rightfully quoted the Senate's constitutional obligation to confirm or reject executive nominations, but not the executive powers and prerogative to nominate and keep nominating any candidate they desire including Magu. There is no law under the Nigerian constitution that says the executive cannot keep nominating and sending the same candidate for confirmation. The Senate is free to keep rejecting Magu, it is their choice per the constitution, but they can not prevent the executive from nominating the same Magu over and over and over and over again. Bottomline, this ruling means a lot to the Senate, but it means nothing to the President of Nigeria and it doesn't say and can never say the President of Nigeria can not renominate the same candidate. Now, the Senate should never be allowed to approve heads of agencies like EFCC especially considering the fact that many members of the Senate are under investigation by the same EFCC/Magu, even the Senate president himself. It's like asking the armed robber to pick and chose his own favorite prosecutor and deciding Judge. It's called conflict of interest. The Senate by the deciding to place an embargo on Executive nomination approval is unconstitutional and illegal blackmail, they have to do their job which is to confirm or reject nominees. The President per his powers and equal powers regarding separation of powers has the upper hand and al the Senate can do is to keep saving face with meaningless court judgments and tantrums. The Nigerian Senate in it's present form is rubbish, unfocused, corrupt, materialistic, self-serving and incompetent. 41 Likes 2 Shares |

Alariiwo:hope you remembered the same USA and UK failed to recognise ipob as a terrorist organization, so basing your argument on what they say makes no sense to me. This is a magu that the DSS it's against, they told the NA not to confirm his nomination 25 Likes |

deomelllo:this is not a matter of ipob ,the laws are very clear moreover there over a thousand competent Nigerians who can do the job . You build strong institutions not strong men.

Alariiwo:as far as that act stands now. There is nothing like acting chairman after the tenure of a preceding chairman so technically the efcc as a commission does not have a chairman by law! whether nigerians voted Lawrence anini as senate president or shina Rambo as house of rep.it does not change that act. rather it confirms the constitution which states that no persons of questionable character can stand for elections and if there are questionable circumstances call police. but like I said the efcc act still stands and currently the efcc does not have a chairman 25 Likes 4 Shares |

deomelllo:Magu was rejected and declared incapably unfit by the dss which is also a critical apparatus of the executive. The law states that the legislature have to confirm him considering qualifications and all security informations at their disposal after which they find him wanting and failed to pass screening. The illegality is very clear ,it is corruption in itself. 24 Likes 1 Share |

magoo10: I still don't see the illegality here. We both agree that the Senate can confirm and reject candidates, but where is the Nigerian constitution that says the president can not renominate the same candidate? Show us the part of the Nigerian constitution that says the president can not renominate the same candidate. I know the reason why many of you are on the side of the Senate per Magu, it's all because of politics, tribalism, bigotry and so on, but asking accused people on trial and under investigation to decide and pick their own favorite prosecutor is not good for you in the long run, not good for any country and their institutions. 7 Likes |

baralatie: Then Saraki should vacate his seat likewise.. A man with several criminal charges shouldn't be in the position of senate president going by your logic. I feel FG and Magu should put up a fight against Saraki in the courts too. In saner climes, he would have stepped down honorably. Na PMB kuku fvck up sha.. his cabal told him to leave Saraki there, making his whole amti-corruption mantra a joke. 6 Likes 1 Share |
