President Muhammadu Buhari may not heed the call by the Senate for the sack of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr . Ibrahim Magu, despite ongoing efforts to end their face - off , SUNDAY PUNCH has learnt.

The Senate had last week stepped down the confirmation of 27 Resident Electoral Commissioners whose nominations were sent by Buhari for two weeks over the President ’ s failure to implement some of the resolutions of the National Assembly.

At the centre of the crisis is Magu’ s continued stay in office in acting capacity despite the fact that the Senate had rejected his nomination on two occasions.

The President had on Wednesday set up a committee chaired by Vice - President Yemi Osinbajo to look into the face -off with a view to ending it.

But our correspondent learnt on Saturday that despite the peace move, Buhari has not changed his position on Magu.

A Presidency source ruled out the possibility that the President may abandon Magu in order to allow peace to reign.

“ The President will stick to Magu. Shopping for a replacement is not on the card at the moment , ” the source said.

When reminded that Magu’ s sack is key among the Senate’s demands, the source said that is why former senators, who are now ministers, are members of the committee set up by the President.

“ The former senators are expected to leverage on their experience in the National Assembly to come up with how to reach out to their former colleagues without necessarily compromising government ’ s position on the matter, ” he added.

Chaired by Osinbajo, the committee has all ministers who are former members of the National Assembly, the president's liaison officers in the National Assembly and all ministers who have personal relationship with the lawmakers as members.

Ministers who are former senators include Chris Ngige ( Labour and Employment ) , Udo Udoma ( Budget and National Planning) , Heineken Lokpobiri ( State , Agriculture and Natural Resources ) , Hadi Sirika ( State for Aviation ) and Aisha Alhassan ( Women Affairs).

But seems Nigeria cannot produce another righteous one to replace Magu..

But the DSS should as a matter of urgency take Magu to a court of competent jurisdiction to prosecute him if their claims have sufficient evidence instead of just sending reports.. Unless they want us to see them as hypocrites if they should prosecute the judicial officers and not prosecute Magu but keep on writing reports

When two elephants fight
The grass suffers
At the end of the day the masses are the ultimate losers in the debacle
No one is talking about 2017 budget

Is there no one else 'righteous' enough for Buhari in his camp
Your guess is as good as mine

I trust bubu.

Let senatieves cry fowl, pmb will never replace magu because bubu know that the magu rejection by senatieves is to pay magu back for open them yansh.

The duty of executive is to send names to legislathieves to advice and recommended and not to enforce action as our senatieves they do today.

If Senatieves reject magu, good they've done their exercise which should not be a fighting and refuse to sit on other list bubu send to them.

My prayer is that soon and very soon, the roses btw Saraki and Dino shall turn sore like Fayose and Sheriff saga.

Note, the 180m includes; new born babies, aged, disabled, sick, illiterates, youths etc. Besides, what is the total number of men and officers of the Nigerian Police Force, the officers of the appropriate rank in appropriate department. Stop this 180m thing.
