Osinbajo’s Statement On Magu Was A Personal Opinion – Garba Shehu by ynaijaNews: 6:24am On Jul 06, 2017 |
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu has said the statement made by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on the confirmation of Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, was a personal opinion. In an interview, Osinbajo had said Senate confirmation was not needed for the EFCC chairman based on the provisions of Section 171 of the constitution. The statement had angered the Senate which agreed to suspend confirmation of all appointments made by the Presidency. Shehu while speaking with journalists in Abuja said the statement was Osinbajo’s personal opinion which he made as vice-president. He said, “Our understanding is that some remarks made by the Acting President some months ago when he was the Vice-President, because the President was around at that time, an opinion he gave is being misconstrued. “A senior lawyer in the country offered an opinion, in which he said some categories of public officers, traditionally cleared by the National Assembly, need not go through that process, that those ones can be appointed through presidential fiat; they don’t have to go through screening. “But several months ago, in his position as Vice-President, Prof. Osinbajo gave a personal opinion, saying what this lawyer said makes sense.” Shehu however assured all stakeholders that the current face-off would be resolved through dialogue. He said, “There is no official position by the government of Nigeria, and the Federal Executive Council never sat down to take a decision to say that some categories of officials will not be sent to the National Assembly any longer. “The authority of the Senate, under the Constitution to screen and pass nominees, has never been questioned by the government or the Federal Executive Council. “From the time the Vice-President gave that opinion till now, more than 20 nominations have been forwarded to the Senate and quite a number of them have been screened, sworn in and are now occupying positions. “Therefore, this is not a big issue as some people want to make it. The party, government and the National Assembly will sit at a round table and this matter will be discussed and resolved.” YNAIJA 1 Like |

Has anyone noticed Femi Adeshina has been quite. Dude has gone under the radar. Osinbajo is being undermined. These guys are trying to box him to into a corner. Prof needs to put his pastorial calling, church and self-effacing to one side and "funk these muthersucker's up" 30 Likes |

sarrki: That is not the way to go. He will only end up with more enemies than necessary. For now, he should continue to suck up the nonsense that Saraki and some disgruntled politicians are throwing at him. He should not take up the bait of fighting back so early. This is where is natural Afonja wisdom and diplomacy should come into play. There is a Yoruba saying that "bowo eyan ote Ku ada, ko gbodo bere iku topa baba e". This is not the time to fight at all. The law is on his side, he should ride the wave and see where it goes. 30 Likes |

I feel they only want to box him from changing the arrangment of things, especially in the area of security.. Osibanjo would obviously want a magu, because he feels its right at the same time as vp, not succumb to the senate or Hor so as not to look weak in the eyes of the masses.. |

It seem the fear of Magu as EFCC chairman is causing more harm than good and only the Legislooters knows while they are scared of this man. Only the executhieves while they are neck bend to make him the chairman; let the executhieves appoint another they can trust and capable to do job in place of Magu after all if he die today will the Efcc chair remain vacant forever? 1 Like |

Osibanjo is a puppet. He is supposed to be the acting President. Yet Garba Shebi and Femi Adesina make press releases from the other Presidency. Such a shame. I thought this westerner wouldn't be a coward too. 30 Likes 2 Shares |

When in stormy seas, pray to God but roam for shore. I actually love what is happening. It's a good thing the fifth-columnists in this government are showing their hands. Unfortunately, they're showing their hands too early. |
