Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja

The Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, on Monday said contrary to the information currently available to the public, the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly has not rejected the nomination of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

He said what the Senate had done was just to step down Magu’s screening until issues surrounding the security report concerning him are cleared.

He also said contrary to media reports, the Senate had not indicted the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir Lawal, of any wrongdoing.

He said Lawal’s investigation by the Senate was still work in progress.

Ndume spoke with State House correspondents shortly meeting President Muhammadu Buhari behind closed door at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

On Magu, he said what Senate will do is to clear from President Muhammadu Buhari whether it should go ahead with his approval process despite the security report.

The senate should stand their ground by ensuring that persons who indulge in sharp practices or abuse of office are shown the way out irrespective of mr president stand. This is the right time to ensure the rule of law prevails. Long Live FRN.

Our Senators are old fooools

Really ?

Hehehe

They want to follow due process. They realized that they never gave Magu the opportunity to defend himself and that they never actually debated and voted on his nomination

Defaramade:

Yes he is the one and same person.
He is also the sponsor of Buhari's campaign hence the free access to Aso Rock.
Do the maths.

How can they when they themselves are crooks? This is the problem with Buhari's war on corruption, Everybody around him is a thief, crooks in presidency, crooks in EFCC, crooks in DSS, crooks in senate, crooks in the house, crooks in the judiciary, crooks in APC, crooks in PDP.

You want thief A to probe thief B, when thief B knows thief A's secrets? We are almost 2 years into this administration o, before you know what has happened his 4 years is up and nobody will go to jail. A new administration will come in and all the files currently under investigation will be swept under the carpet. The same people who are under investigation, confessing and returning money left right and center will be the same people contesting for office waiting to confirm the next EFCC boss.

Senate, you see your life?

How many of those convicted in the press by Magu's EFCC were given the opportunity to defend themselves?

The president must do something about the SGF if we are to take his anti-corruption war serious. The minimum I expect from him is to ask him to step down pending investigation into the alleged contract award.

Idiats!
