I know Nigeria constitution is too complex, complicated and ambiguous to understand, so many loopholes. The bunch of thugs, perversions, looters always find a place to hide of their mischievous activities under the same protective books called Nigeria Constitution.

Buhari should just appoint Charly Boy as the EFCC chairman and allow Magu to Continue his work under him.
It's the Senate that'll beg him to bring Magu back

But truth be told, Magu is a dumb dullard. Did anyone hear him speak? Not appealing at all.

Melaye: Why Buhari Can't Re-present Magu's Name to Senate

Chairman, Senate  Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye has said that following the Senate rejection of the nomination of Mr. Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission  (EFCC) on two different occasions, President Muhammadu Buhari cannot validly re-nominate the same candidate again.

Melaye while commenting on the debate in the media about whether Magu can continue to act as EFCC boss in spite of his failure to be confirmed by the Senate or if the President can renominate him, Melaye said there is a provision of the Senate rules which would not allow members consider Magu for the same position again.

Citing Order 131 of the Senate Rules, Melaye said after the rejection of Magu's nomination, his candidacy is considered lapse and therefore advised the President to consider a fresh nominee who is qualified, in terms of experience, integrity, knowledge and temperament to lead the anti-graft agency.

Order 131 of the Senate Rules states that "nominations neither confirmed nor rejected during the session or within 21 working days in the case of Ministerial nominees shall be returned by the clerk to the National Assembly to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and shall not again be made to the Senate by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria".

The Senator who insisted that Magu did not impress anybody including those Senators who would have been sympathetic to his cause during the confirmation hearing in the Senate urged President Buhari to look for a replacement and avoid actions that may result in violation of the laws of the land.

"Those suggesting to the President that after failing to scale the confirmation process twice, the President should leave Magu to be acting are only recommending violation of the law, disrespect for due process and perpetration of illegality. All these will only undermine democracy and constitutionalism in our country.

"Those drafters of the law who made the provision that the Senate should confirm the nomination of the EFCC chairman did not make any mistake and nobody should observe the law in the breach by getting a person into that office who has not been confirmed. Magu is not greater than the law creating EFCC. Magu is not the last messiah. He can't be the only competent person for the job out of 170 million Nigerians. Should he voluntarily decline the appointment today, will EFCC fold up?", the Senator asked.

Signed
Senator Dino Melaye
Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT

It's so sad that people can only react based on sentiments and not fact.
I happened to watch the confirmation process live on NTA and am not impressed with Magu, he couldn't defend himself or answer questions, yet some people still want him to head EFCC.
Even if we don't like the Nigeria Senate that's not enough reason to confirm Magu, we should rather question DSS report on Magu.
No matter your dislike for Nigeria Senate, Kindly ignore your sentiments and ask Mr. President to present another officer in the EFCC for confirmation.

Magu's performance that day was very poor.

Besides, it will be stewpid of President Buhari to even represent
Magu again after that damning report from the DSS.

We claim to copy our democracy from USA and I ask if a US president
will even ever present a personality that has been so grossly indicted by
the FBI or CIA to congress for appointment.

Only a foolish illiterate president will do that and I won't be surprised if president Buhari does it

Senator Ita giwa has these to say

"She listed a former chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission, Chief Onyema Ugochukwu and an ex - minister of aviation , Prof . Babalola Aborishade, as nominees that were screened up to four times by the Senate before they were eventually cleared during the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo - led administration ."

Magu is not indispensable,but we must rise against conspiracy and guide against future blackmail of seemingly hardworking,fearless and non-compromising public officers.

Confirmation should be based on his record and performance in his present and former responsibilities and not on some bogus and already debunked DSS cooked up claims.


The prob;em here is not about Magu, it's about the corrupt people they call lawmakers in Nigeria working on behalf of other corrupt entities in Nigeria.


Also, we found out today that the Nigerian customs impounded an armored Range Rover imported by Saraki, the senate president with fake documentation.


We can not have corrupt people looking out for their own corrupt interests determine who should head our law enforcement agencies.

This is just like the ignorance they displayed when they threatened to sack the customs boss when in fact they can not do so constitutionally since only the president can sack his own appointees based on the separation of powers and the Nigerian constitution. All because of uniform that's not required or in the Nigerian constitution.

Just imagine a whole lawmaker confusing and comparing his silly senate rules with the Nigerian constitution.

Nigeria is not going anywhere with such corrupt and ignorant people in position of power.
