THE Senate on Thursday said it will not confirm the nomination of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The Presidency had six months ago sent Magus’s name to the Senate for confirmation as the substantive Chairman of the EFCC.

But the spokesman of the Senate, Senator Aliyu Sabi, told newsmen that Magu will not be confirmed.



Sabi said his nomination had been returned to the Presidency.

He said there were security reports that led to the decision.

Sabi announced the position of the Senate while Magu was still in the closed door session where the senators screened him.



This was unlike past practices where nominees are screened in the open and some times screened live on television.

#girls_nawaooo.

magu magu...

Is that the only reason he can give?

Lalasticlala, mynd44

who would train a dog that would end up biting him

They are all jokers.

They will eventually realize they have no choice than to confirm him.

Last last, he continues to work in acting capacity which doesn't diminish his power.

The only difference will be that he serves as acting chairman of EFCC.

If I was Magu, now is the time to go after the corrupt senators big time without mercy.

The Senate has no power to do anything to him.

Political Analyst please take it easy.
The Senate has more powers to do things to him and they just did one which is refusing to confirm him

No confirmation for him until he investigate and prosecute Amechi, Burattai Danbazau and SGF

And does that stop him from acting?

As expected

Magu be like, Ifai catch that guy en. Confirm me now or I...

Is of no effect!

Magu, take heart.

we saw that coming after the initial shouting match that happened as earlier reported

just hope the reason is genuine and the presidency acts as expected

2019 battle as started

These people think once they 'kill' the manager ....the company dies Strong institutions don't die off easily

DropShot:
And does that stop him from acting?

Then let him keep on acting.

Dino melaye go be like

I give up on Nigeria...

What i read from thiss action is a confirmation that the man is eminently qualified to occupy that office.

All the granstanding is just a plot to eke out some political concessions from the president. Nothing more.

Corruption is definitely fighting back!

Indeed corruption is fighting back this Govt. What is the essence of their confirmation anyway ? Can somebody tell me..will that stop the presidency from using him as the head of that unit ..Let them keep ranting & playing power game as the man keeps doing his job without fear or favor.

They have stung themselves all in the name of sidelining Tinubu. Since baba can work with anyone in the senate, he should continue.
