Defender of impunity oya sniff your armpit for a job well done..

Are you saying the majority of the senators are corrupt or the DSS aren't competent any longer

I repeat, Nigeria dont have Senators...... what we have is a gang of cultist that meet in the dead of the night, in absoute secrecy, to plan EVIL against Nigerians and their country.
If l had my way, they would be prosecuted and shot point blank.

As far as the DSS is concerned, again, only 'IGNORANTS' like you would not know the about the kind of "Power Play" going-on between the Head of DSS (who is a cousin to Buhari, the President) and the Head of the EFCC.
Those closer to the corridor of power can tell you that there had been many confrontations between the head of EFCC and Head of DSS....open confrontation that involved "threat to shoot".

Even at that, for the DSS to write TWO REPORTS, one exonerating Magu of any charges and another accusing him, on the same day, to the NASS, shows that the issue is beyond incompetency on the part of the Head of DSS (Daura) but sheer mischief.

I bet if they ask Saraki or any of those criminals in the NASS who they would prefer as EFFC chairman, they would quickly recall that thief of a woman called Farida Waziri, who was planted by Jonathan and other thieves in his cabinet, after Ribadu was disgraced out of the position and sent to "school"

Dont get high, Corruption is fighting back, with all the "Gunners" in its Arsenal (Am l sounding like "Arse" Wenger? )

Nigerians `MUST occupy this NASS, very soon otherwise, this country will remain dead.

ehie:
Magu should go and rest, to be EFCC chairamn is not a do or die affair.
I am loving this new senate

obynocute:
it seems like these senators don't like the man @ all.. well in this case majority carries the vote..

madridsta007:


180 million people, perhaps over half of that more than qualified and not living in apartments costing tens of millions.
We have the people. We don't seem to realise that.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:


LOL no mind the OP, The picture of he posted of the twitter handle of the senate was posted at 12:46pm and the screening ending about 1:40pm so how did they reject him why the screening s still going on? hahhaha

eltalentino:

Yea bro, except you are saying the legislators have hijacked the DSS which is also an independent institution. Separation of powers is what we need.

Lionofdjungle:
The man is hated simply because he has dealt with Saraki and some other senators and honourables before. They don't want someone who will be exposing them.

Daboomb:


They have met and vowed NEVER to approve his nomination and he knows it himself.
That is why , if you read his countenance, `he was like[b] "Do your worst"............. l will continue to operate in "acting capacity" for the next two years, as long as Buhari is President.[/b]

But Buhari himself is torn between his loyalty to his cousin, DSS Chairman Daura...... and fighting corruption with a sound person like Magu.
Maybe his illness also made him weak to make firm decisions, especially when the person concerned is in charge of his own personal security and his Agency is a stabilising factor, for his Presidency.

Buhari needs to step-down Daura and Babachir Lawal from his Govt otherwise, he is losing face rapidly

Jaideyone:
I follow the senate on twitter and I don't see anything wrong in the way he answered the questions. magu is a victim here for doing his job diligently. goodluck with your incoming yahoo boy-chasing efcc chairman. that's what the senate wants

Daboomb:




Like most Nigerians, "ignorance" runs in your Blood!

Yes, Nigeria does not have "Distinguished Senators", what we have are a BUNCH OF CRIMINAL LAW BREAKERS masquerading as `Senators/NASS members `
I am sure you will feign ignorance if l tell you that most of them became Senators through Political Violence (killing here and there, opponents and citizens alike). Is that not corruption?

Some of them (just like Fayose may attempt to do next year) "violently rigged" themselves into that position, to shield themselves from "corruption probes and other acts of impunity"......... and you still think they are worthy, right?

I repeat, Nigeria dont have Senators...... what we have is a gang of cultist that meet in the dead of the night, in absoute secrecy, to plan EVIL against Nigerians and their country.
If l had my way, they would be prosecuted and shot point blank.

As far as the DSS is concerned, again, only 'IGNORANTS' like you would not know the about the kind of "Power Play" going-on between the Head of DSS (who is a cousin to Buhari, the President) and the Head of the EFCC.

Even at that, for the DSS to write TWO REPORTS, one exonerating Magu of any charges and another accusing him, on the same day, to the NASS, shows that the issue is beyond incompetency on the part of the Head of DSS (Daura) but sheer mischief.

The allegations, especially that of #21Million Rent has been proved to be pure balderdash.

But then, with a Senate peopled by criminals, who are scared-stiff of a Magu EFCC (Saraki especially!), that mischievous report by Daura was God-sent, if it was not actually "planned" in conjunction with Daura of DSS.

Having said all the above, we are once again faced with the "challenges" of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and all the "Booby-Traps" that retired Military Generals venturing into Politics, included in it..... to give then an escape route should the day of reckoning come knocking.

I know this Senators are no good-criminals and nothing good can come out of them but what we should clamour for, is an EFCC nomination for Chairman that the Constitution stipulates must be "either approved or rejected" within a one week of submission of the name....PRIOR TO ACTING IN THE OFFICE.

The reason for the above is simple:
If you allow someone to "act" as EFCC chairman for a considerable time before his confirmation, he would either:
1.) Kow-tow to criminals in the Senate ...... so he can be confirmed or

2.) As we are experiencing today, you would have given the criminals in the Senate the opportunity to "size-him-up and then decide "He is too dangerous" for their own good and therefore should be rejected.

Positions as this (Head of Corruption or Intelligence Agencies) should not be left to the antics of Politicians, especially cultist-criminals like those in the current National Assembly.

Buhari can keep re-submitting Magu's name for as long as he is President and wants him to head the EFCC (that is not against the constitution) .... and Magu will keep operating as "acting Head" of EFCC for the next two years (remaining of a four year tenor), while the Senators keep rejecting his confirmation. It does not have any effect on his performance or otherwise.

But meanwhile, who would amend the Constitution to reflect changes such that anyone nominated for the EFCC chair, should not operate in "acting capacity" at all, before confirmation, and must be conformed or rejected within one week .........so that when it is only when he is confirmed, that is when we shall see what he can do

I bet if they ask Saraki or any of those criminals in the NASS who they would prefer as EFFC chairman, they would quickly recall that thief of a woman called Farida Waziri, who was planted by Jonathan and other thieves in his cabinet, after Ribadu was disgraced out of the position and sent to "school"

Dont get high, Corruption is fighting back, with all the "Gunners" in its Arsenal (Am l sounding like "Arse" Wenger? )

Nigerians `MUST occupy this NASS, very soon otherwise, this country will remain dead.

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:



I think you get the gist, Their agreement was not to approve the man and i hope PMB can use his power as the President now..

eltalentino:
If you believe that stuff that dude wrote there, you would believe anything. Does the President look like a weakling to you or a man torn between loyalty for country or family?

ISTANDWITHBUHAR:



Go and check the tweet posted on the first page by the OP, it was tweeted even before they are done with the screening, I'm waiting to see how PMB will handle this case....

HungerBAD:
Reject him on what grounds?

This is no longer funny.

This is a direct Vendetta by the Saraki Senate against the Presidents nominee,because they all have something to hide.

This Senate is not happy with the Laudable job this man has been doing. So they want a corrupt person to head the EFCC?

The Senate should do Nigeria a favour by nominating somebody for us then. Bunch of thieves.

sankolo84:
As postulated in the DSS report, if Magu had failed integrity test and he would not be able to head EFCC. Then he should also be removed from Nigerian Police. If the rejection of Magu as EFCC Chairman has not been politicizing, anyone Senators has confirmed that he failed integrity test should not be allowed in police uniform.

If he is still remains active Police Officer, it means something is wrong somewhere.

How i wish Nigerians viewing it from this angle.

ehie:
Magu should go and rest, to be EFCC chairamn is not a do or die affair.
I am loving this new senate

eltalentino:
Yeah, that's exactly what we are expecting, he should dig in and get someone who will do the job even better than Magu. Magu isn't the only righteous capable of heading the institution.

Raziii:
that he didn't pay for it with his money. It was given to him for use because of its closeness to his workplace.

Jaideyone:
the report was submitted. do you think the presidency has the time to go through every report that flies around between the 3 arms of government? there are still corrupt element in this system and these elements will only confirm someone that will chase yahoo boys alone. think about it

facealone05:
on what ground u are loving this senate,ask ur self what exactly they want from this man may be they didnt like the kind of job dt guy they do

Jaideyone:
it doesn't have to be magu. but when the reward for hardwork is being hanged nobody will want to work again. you still don't get my point? the senate won't confirm the next person except he's only willing to chase yahoo boys and leave corrupt politicians!!!

Icecomrade:


Scared ke!

What is Magu capable of doing that he has not done?

Make e park well Jare

ehie:
Magu should go and rest, to be EFCC chairamn is not a do or die affair.

Olivers2J:



I see, so 2 u Mr AG EFCC has done excellently well & his compensation shld be the position of substantive chairman. Very myopic, anywy let Mr President nominate someone else that is corruption free 2 the eyes of the public for that position then we can watch the Senate cancel or delay it.
