The Nigerian Senate has resumed confirmation of Nominees forwarded by the President after the exercise was suspended two weeks ago. The Senate after yesterday's executive session resumed the consideration of matters relating to the confirmation of nominees forwarded by the President when the Senate's INEC Committee submitted its report on the screening of 12 nominees for the position of Resident Electoral Commissioners.

The Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Suleiman Nazif presented the report. Recall that on July 4, the Senate suspended further hearing on the confirmation of nominees forwarded by the Executive. The move followed a reported statement credited to the Acting President that the President has powers to make certain appointment without subjecting same to Senate confirmation.



The statement followed controversy surrounding the refusal of the Presidency to remove Ibrahim Magu as the Acting Chairman of the EFCC after his nomination was rejected by the Senate. Following Senate's decision, stakeholders including the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) held closed door sessions with the leadership of the Senate as well as the Acting President with a view to resolving the matter.



The Senate President also met with the Acting President on the matter. Yesterday, Vigil3690 gathered that the decision of the Senate to resume confirmation of nominees may not be unconnected with resolutions reached at the various reconciliatory meetings. A high ranking Senator who spoke on condition of anonymity disclosed that the Presidency was currently searching for a competent and unblemished personnel for the Police or the DSS to replace Magu.



The Senator further hinted that the Presidency begged for more time in order to make a better choice of an individual that will spearhead the anti-corruption drive of the administration.


"What you see now is the result of the various consultations that came after the Senate suspended action on confirmation of nominees. The Presidency has assured that Magu will go and that they are shopping for a replacement from the Police and the DSS. They have begged for time. So we are waiting" he added
