you are myopic and don't know anything about politics. Those gang of theives are only hiding behind DSS. First and foremost, the DSS report First used was forwarded to the attorney General by the DSS, where it was found out that most of the allegations were frivolous, and he was cleared and given a clean bill. Why then will the Senate seek another report from the DSS after Magu has been cleared by the attorney general? Why was 2 different report sent by the DSS signed by 2 different people. The only person i blame here is Buhari. It just shows he doesn't have a firm grip of his government, and i am disappointed.

You are more myopic than I do, who appoints the DSS DG? Under whose office are they operating?
Check the date of the DSS report, it was produced on the 14th March a day before the screening. Why should the DSS which is under the Presidency repeat the same thing, despite being aware of Magu's clearance by the AGF.
Blame Buhari under whose nostril all these are happening.

I guess the courts need to interprete the effect of non-confirmation of a political appointee by the Senate whose appointment is subject to the confirmation of the Senate.

Useless politics of attrition will see idiots turn the constitution on its head just to install a stooge in office. Is the confirmation of a nominee supposed to be a mere academic exercise where the Senate must approve every intended appointee of a President? Why should a person fail the test of integrity to substantively head an organisation and still remain head of same in acting capacity? Is it not the same powers n privileges he enjoys despite being adjudged unfit for that position?

No matter the political undertones or power play, the point is that the Senate has rejected an appointee based on security reports by the same Presidency. Why the hell would we all have to be fed with the arrogant posturing of the Executive and its appointees?

Unfortunately the bitter truth is Magu can continue in acting capacity the infinity cos no where is it stated in law that he can't continue acting after rejection. Until the president sends another name and is confirmed by the Senate, he remains the acting chairman. The only difference is he will be he wouldn't get the full benefits of a confirmed chairman.
I think u don't understand Nigeria's politics. Those gang of theives are only hiding behind a useless DSS report. Why will they request another report after the first report was sent to the attorney general for further investigations and actions, where it was found that most of the allegations were lies and bogus. Magu was then cleared by the attorney general. So which report again did NASS go to look for? Bare in mind that 2 different reports where sent by DSS signed by 2 different persons. I blame Buhari for this nonsense, it only shows he doesn't have a firm grip of his government. Magu is a threat and have stepped on toes.

Check your post and see how you contradict yourself, blaming the guest for your house defect.

Oga. Use ur sense. The end of my posts still says the President is to be blamed for not having a firm grip of his government. Don't mention me again u have comprehension probs

That would be great

This is also another poor advise ..If MAGU can serve indefinitely in an acting capacity then why does the law state that he has to be confirmed , come on its just common sense Na...

Of what use then is the confirmation by senate?

Corruption is really fighting back!

Saraki and his cohorts re criminals that would never have been close to the corridors of power in a sane country.

bro, the Head of DSS, Lawal Musa Daura was appointed by Buhari. He is even related to buhari. Yet, he is against Magu's appointment. Buhari simply doesn't have a tight grasp on his government.

You should have use yours the more when quoting my initial post.

They should make Buhari the Efcc Boss and make Ossy the President..

It is quite unfortunate that some learned and responsible Nigerians are blaming the senate for doing their job. I am very much aware of the number of people DSS and EFCC have branded corrupt persons and put behind bars without that pronouncement coming from a competent court. The same DSS that claimed to have investigated other people, got them arrested and we applauded them claim here that they have investigated Magu and found him to be guilty of fraud and integrity yet those that would have applauded them if the person was related to GEJ are the same persons castigating the DSS. Which way Naija. Why should we allow a fellow with questionable character to lead EFCC. Nigeria has one million and one persons that can perform far better than Magu. Magu should just go and sit down. When I hear the same people say the senate will not clear Magu because he is investigating some senators makes it more laughable. Are these people saying that Magu will leave EFCC with the case files of these senators or what. Sentiment is our greatest problem in Nigeria. God help us

I can do the job

Is magu the only man who can function in that office? What is it with northerners and confusion? If the man has been rejected, look for someone else and put there, let's stop this magu this and magu that.

Apc govt riddled with excessive drama and almost zero percent governance.

Realdeals:
The Senate should not be blamed, I don't expect them to go ahead and clear Magu with that DSS report, the Presidency should bear the brunt.
When an agency under your purview is undermining your actions not for the first time, Haba! we await President Buhari next line of action.

Can we say the DSS is undermining the President (or Presidency) if the office is doing her job?

Hahahaha. Nigeria! The same way Buhari was the only option then. If the people against his confirmation are scared of him, then let him dig out their "dirts" Oh wait, he has his own pile of "dirt"

Old foolss!

If Amaechi can be a Minister Under Buhari, and Fashola also a Minister Under Buhari, my Brother Magu is a Saint.

GavelSlam:


Yes he must.

Must Saraki be Senate president?

Isn't it ur bastard party that gave Saraki senatorial nomination??

sinistermind:
The way some people reason sef. We all read the DSS report on Magu which is a reason he was rejected by the senate n yet we are attckin the Senate. Assuming he was confirmed, with all the reports of misconduct, these same set of people will scream corruption in the Senate.

WHAT STUPID REPORT?
DID YOU READ THE MAIN POINT OF THE REPORT?
THE MAIN POINT IS THAT HIS LANDLORD IS UNDER INVESTIGATION BY EFCC
AND MAGU EXPLAINED THAT HE DID NOT RENT NOR BUY THE HOUSE FROM THE LANDLORD,
BUT FCDA DID AND GAVE HIM THE HOUSE AS HIS OFFICIAL ACCOMMODATION.
DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO REJECT HIS OFFICIAL ACCOMMODATION BECAUSE THE LANDLORD IS UNDER EFCC INVESTIGATION.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THE REJECTION IS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO DROP CHARGES AGAINST CORRUPT SENATORS AND GOVERNORS.

praise010:
Why should we blame the Senators? Are they the one that controls DSS?

Rather than address the issues raised by the DSS, the Senate is being ridiculed.

This APC government eeee, they are totally confused.

We blame the senators because we saw their actions tat day. We saw the enthusiasm and dramatic display of absurdity by Malaye. Most especially, the Senate received a report at 5pm and hurriedly concluded the next day. And when you look at the statement from the DSS, it wasn't duly signed.

The mistake the president make was not allowing Magu to be confirmed immediately before he would start stepping on toes. Since he knows the nature of his job and the composition of the NA

Yes of course.

Nnamdi Kanu might be right after all.
How can a whole SAN make such an outrageous threat that cannot be defended in a court of law?
Buhari might as well suspend the Constitution, dissolve the government and constitute a Supreme Ruling Council with the Itsey Sagays as members.

Ezekomhe can go to court and fight it since he's so desperate to see Magu out of the office. corrupt lawyer suddenly lost dignity when he saw money.

juman:
Buhari is causing confusion.

He was the one behind dss sending atrocious things about the man to the senate, yet he is talking about retaining him in that position like that.

Which kind of useless old man is that?

I regret to agree with u.

freeze001:


Was he not asked by the Senate to respond to the report? What was his response? That he did not have a copy of such an important and indicting document on the basis of which he was being screened? Did he not know he should have prepared his response/defence in writing to be tendered before the Senate? Was he not aware of the report and d screening date? How else should his 'side of the story' have been heard?

He won't.

You know that he is used to prosecuting people on the pages of newspapers without evidence hence no convictions so far.

He is used to illegality.
