freeze001:
This is what I've always said. The power of appointment by the president in this regard is subject to the confirmation of the Senate! It is not the spirit and intent of the law that an appointee remains in acting capacity ad infinitum especially when the supervening 'leg' of the appointment has been sought and lost! The moment Mr Magu was presented to the Senate, his appointment became subject to the confirmation or rejection of the Senate.

Mr President or his handlers, since he's too sick to even care, should nominate another EFCC head and let the appointment be confirmed by the Senate. Besides, Magu is not d only or most qualified to head the EFCC.

Magu's case is simply 'corruption fighting back'.
The 'Demons' that hold Nigeria are too strong.If you can't beat them...

I DEDICATE this FTC to the late Dr.Allwell orji(AKA Mpompo).
People are free to talk thrash,it's just a sign of ignorance.
Rest in peace Brother.
May God give Aunty Rose,Bubu and Kc the strength to carry on.

ADIEU!!!!!!!!!

Nigeria lawyers are not well educated, all appointments either in the public or private sector are subject to acting

These people calling for Magu's sack is either corrupt or they r under EFCC investigation. They quot the law blindly to deceive the public. Though section 2(3)of the EFCC Act give the president power to appoint a substantive EFCC chairman subject to the confirmation by the senate. Section 11 of the interpretation Act defines what constitute appointment, it provides that it can be either in acting capacity and or for a term. And in fact it went to state that the appointment in acting capacity can be done from time to time. This gives Mr president the power to renominate Magu from time to time. Which means he can continue in acting capacity till Infinitum. So, power to appoint and or continued existence of Magu as EFCC chair is exclusively under the whims and carpreses of the President.

You need your head examine

tete7000:



Let the corrupt anti-corruption committee headed by Itsey Sagay keeps deceiving the President. How can anyone in his right sense ( a constitutional lawyer for that matter) keeps saying Magu can act indefinitely? Why the need for his confirmation at all if he can remain in office against his rejection? Nigeria is full of drama.
