Senate Suspends Confirmation Of 27 INEC RECs Over Magu's Leadership of EFCC by Jajayi: 2:30pm On Mar 28, 2017
The Nigerian senate has stepped down on confirmation of Buhari's 27 REC nominees for 2 weeks in protest against Magu's continued headship of EFCC.

The Senators made the decision at Tuesday's plenary over what they termed as "Buhari's appointees disrespect to the senate"

Sen. Anyanwu, while speaking at the plenary said "If the Senate is ridiculed our institution has been ridiculed, we will try as much as possible to promote this institution"

"Lets hear from Muhammadu Buhari on Magu's case, Magu is terrorising us, because we disqualified him", Sen. Francis Alimikhena who also supported the motion cited.

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu said there's a time frame to stand down the confirmation and implored the Senate President Bukola Saraki to convey their feelings to Mr. President.

Senate President Bukola Saraki then put the question and the Confirmation of INEC RECs was suspended for two weeks.

At this rate, governance will simply grind to a halt because some conceited, self-important mofos have no respect for institutions. Mr President should quickly disengage Magu and appoint a new person please! Must it all go to hell in a hand basket because of one person? Why is d presidency so hung up on Magu? Is there any special favour he's expected to execute?

The president erred in delaying sending Magu to the Senate for confirmation and now there are incriminating reports arising out of his engagement as Acting head of EFCC. There are more competent hands please!

If Buhari had listened to Tinubu, PDP would not have gained this kind of power in the senate and house of reps to be causing confusion there.

Someone was telling me here on NL that the Senate lacks powers over Buhari appointees and so can't do anything against Ali.

Now I think the Senate has remembered suddenly that it wields the big stick.

Buhari should simply reshuffle Magu and reappoint him as the EFCC director of operations. That way, he isn't answerable to the Senate.

This is one of the consequences of Buhari tacitly supporting Saraki to whittle Tinubu's influence.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that GEJ lost to Buhari in 2015, despite the power of incumbency which he had.

There is evidently a break down of law and order. Are we in the military era

As a concerned Nigeria, these arms of government should cool down on this ego stuff and concentrate on the welfare and happiness of the citizens of this country then we can take them serious but for now, executive and legislative are being childish undecided[/b]
