Senate has celebrated court's approval of its power to reject Magu's nomination
- The upper legislative chamber had last year rejected Magu's nomination as substantive chairman of EFCC
- The Senate said that a Federal High Court had ruled that it had the powers to confirm or reject Magu's appointment
The Senate has said it has been vindicated on the rejection of the appointment of Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Punch reports that the chairman of the Senate committee on media and public affairs, Senator Aliyu Sabi-Abdullahi, who briefed journalists in Abuja on Thursday, February 1, announced that a Federal High Court had ruled that the upper chamber of the National Assembly had the powers to confirm or reject his appointment

Why going to the court? Infact senator ABDULLAHI ALIYU SABI and his colleagues are the worst sets of senators since independent. Constitutionally national assembly has the power to reject or accept. National assembly has no power to disqualify any candidate, constitutionally their is different between REJECT and DISQUALIFY

Dumb senators! Magu is the least of all our problem in this nation, I advice they start with the rejection of our minister of petroleum
