Nigeria democracy in danger

there must be something wrong somewhere

Nigeria made the wrong choice with APC because of greed and jealousy .

goodluck Jonathan would have done better than what we are getting from these half baked.

we have no leadership in Nigeria today,a good leader is the bane of any successful nation.

No problem, just don't use the same fingers to type that corruption is Nigeria's problem. Unless you are benefiting from a senator, no Nigerian senator represents any interests apart from his own. Solve the problem diplomatically LOL! Then you will be complaining in silence. Okay, what will it take the comedy show called the senate, to confirm MAGU. Are they saying Buhari doesn't know who he is appointing?! Are they not in the same APC?.


Is the DSS whose report and raid on supreme court judges I'm sure u supported now to be disregarded because their report on Magu appears not to be in favour of the executive esp the president? Or ate u saying that one person - Buhari knows better than the majority of the senators?
I hope u aren't creating and supporting double standards.

It is so sad...Nigerians cant just see these legislators are the bane of our progress and democracy.

They are chief of thieves, sponsors of bokoharam and financiers of militancy. They are selfish and shallow; only thinking about themselves and family.

They are not only holding the executive to ransom but the entire country!

Imagine saying "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.

BUT WE KNOW REVERSE IS THE CASE! You disqualified Magu because your hands are DIRTY!!!

You have disqualified Magu, what else do you want? How does magu's case affect confirming the REC's

NB: The law allows Magu to keep serving in "acting" capacity.....

They had better move On...CORRUPTION MUST BE KILLED!

On the contrary, there is no provision in the EFCC Act for an acting chairman not to talk of an indefinite acting capacity.

Since 1999,no Nigerian president has been so toyed and disgraced,like a mentally challenged child,like Buhari.
Even as clueless and useless as d fisherman was as president,he showed a bit of bite,even when done shambolically,when d NASS tried teleguiding him.
I dont understand this Buhari again.Like someone once said,the problem he has that's incapacitating and seemingly paralysing his thought processes maynot be ordinary.It maybe spiritual,because even a dull president knows when to say enough is enough of d ridiculing by any NASS.


Eeyah,

How he go come hear this truth now?

Him don talk before say him no dey hear word

Which Constitution?
Some who was rejected twice is tantamount to not just a disqualification but can be called by any name.

in kaduna state a nominee was rejected 3 times by state house of assembly members, and the Governor re nominated him for 4 time but eventually the house confirm him. So constitutional both the national assembly and the state house of assembly can not disqualify anyone but they can reject. Please look for a English teacher to tell you the difference between REJECT and DISQUALIFY ok?

What then is the implication if a nominated is rejected by the NA? Can the nominated still go ahead with the job? If yes then there was no need for the Senate confirmation in the first place.

and that poo you wrote there means you know the constitution more than them.

a president's role is to appoint which he has done, the senate is to confirm the appointment. if the senate rejects, then, the appointment stands null. its a two way thing the sole responsibility is not on the president alone.

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 he'll 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!

So that you will have some relief from the corruption campaign? More competent hands that senators and Governors can control?

I cannot fathom how you think for some reason that Magu is indispensable or the only competent person in a country full of many professionals..who even told you Magu ever acted independently and without any influence? He is under the full control of the President more so in the time he hadn't been sent to the Senate for screening and confirmation. You can be sure he did everything to please his principal including turn blind eyes to petitions requiring the EFCC to investigate and prosecute some Ministers and the SGF so as to get sent for confirmation and enjoy the statutory tenure of a substantive chairman so why the fuss really? If (God forbid), Magu becomes incapacitated or even dies, will the EFCC not have a Chairman anymore? Will EFCC close up shop after Magu?

I don't want the corruption campaign to end but I want it to spread around properly an more impartially, none should be seen as sacred cows! It should not also be the only focus of the Presidency to the detriment of the Nigerian economy and well-being of he citizens.

As it stands now, amendment of constitution is a topic for another day. If what you trying to say is that the constitution is not clear on what should/can be done if a nominee is not cleared by the senate and the extent of the power of the legislative, then the executive should just avoid all these charade by ignoring the legislative in appointment of key officials. It's as simple as that.

There is no bigger corruption that when you rubbish a democratic institution because of grudge you have against those in the office. What is at stake here is not integrity of Saraki as a person but integrity of the senate as an institution. When the executive encourages his appointee not to appear before the house, it is the image of that institution that is being dented. If a conflict arise between an individual and an institution, you don't expect the institution to bow to the whim of an individual. That denigrate the institution and set a bad precedence. They say you don't cut your nose to spite your face. Rather than Nigerians seeing individuals in the house, we better start seeing an institution that must not be allowed to be brought into disrepute. Buhari is gradually dragging Nigeria into chaos and anarchy. There are many people more qualify to head EFCC than Magu. Why turn Magu to a god? Let present another person for the office and move on. Enough of this charade called corruption war. It is turning to a circus show - dancing round a circle.

said it all.....

Firstly, this is a battle of 2 big ego.

Secondly, in a democratic premises, there is no way the senate can go to "HELL" You and his Excellency, Mr president will need to accept this,
for it is your reality.

Thirdly, i believe with tactical diplomacy, the executive can win and then there won't be any need for "HELL"

Finally and Sadly this is a trait his Excellency Mr President lacks ! and i have accepted that for it is our reality.
