So a standing rule of the senate would supercede the constitution of the FRN which doesn't give a limit to d number of times a person can be represented for an office by d president for confirmation by the senate!!
I don't blame him,they now feel they are dealing with a mentally incapacitated president who probably doesn't even know when somebody sneaks in to draft a letter on his behalf and signs it!!
Or they may b dealing with a double faced president who not wanting Magu,knowing how good he is at d job,who cud dig one day and find out more dirt perpetuated by family and relations of the president & with overwhelming legal view now agreed that Magu can be represented as many times as possible,PMB and his antiMagu cabal,now boxed in a corner,av now dug up this standing rule from their asses to find d last reason to use to prevent Magu from becoming substantive EFCC chairman.
This conspiracy to stop Magu may finally expose PMB for who he trully is,unless he sends back his name again for confirmation.

Of course mugu Magu, can be presented one billion times, but the standing rules of senate doesn't permit them to consider him for the role of EFCC chairman again.

Simple........

Buhari want him to be the gate man of the next EFCC chairman, then you can present him before the Senate if he needs their approval but for that particular office? The Standing laws are clear.

For your info, the standing laws guide the ethics and standards of the senate on all issues, be informed. ........

Excuse me sir, will his renomination erase the DSS report? What will it change?

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"

.

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

he did not even know how much loot is beign recovered over the last one year he is been acting as chairman EFCC yet they say he is competent

birdsview:
what are you saying for God sake?

He's saying the Nigerian constitution is above the silly in house and irrelevant Senate rubbish the ignorant senator is talking about.

Understand?

EmeeNaka:
Magu is a criminal.

A criminal that exposes other criminals is a national asset. go n watch blacklist.

EmeeNaka:
Magu is a criminal.

And the Dino melaye that said that rubbish, he is a saint, right?

Nigeria is in trouble, those who make the law doesn't know the law!!!
the law is clear that any law that is inconsistent with the provision of the Constitution is void to the extent of its inconsistency.
I refer you to section 1 of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
see also section 11 of the interpretation Act backed by section 171 of the Constitution.
Section 11 of the interpretation Act says where a nominees that was sent to the National Assembly for confirmation but was rejected or fail to be confirmed, the president should re send his name for confirmation, but if he further fails to be confirmed, the nominee should continue to act as an acting chairman at
the pleasure of the president.
by implication, if the president decided to allow magu to continue as an acting chairman, magu would continue to act through out the tenure of Mr. president

YOU'RE JUST IGNORANT OF THE LAW..........DID ANY COURT OF LAW CONVICT MIKE FLINN(FORMER SECURITY ADVISER TO TRUMP)B4 HE RESIGNED OVER A MERE ALLEGATION? ONLY IN THE ZOOLOGICAL REPUBLIC. FOOLS EVERYWHERE!

So you suggest Magu should resign but Saraki should continue ba? Clap for yourself.

not everyone is a fashola that has all the present megawatts of all d dams in Nigeria in his head. he knows how many megawatts is generated every hour but yet we are not seeing any light.
who do u prefare, a chairman that chokes on figures or a chairman that fosters with action.

While I don't regret following my conscience when I voted PMB, Sir, I have to admit this man called PMB is a barefacet Hypocrite. He doesn't want magu there he is only using dabaru tactics.
I remembered how he played Tinubu during the tussle for Senate President.
PMB is nothing but a bloody Hypocrite and a shameless supporter of corruption. He is corrupt and all this show off na ruse.
This is a big disappointment.

freeze001:
The Senate is bound by its rules. Since they cannot reconsider a matter already considered and voted upon in plenary, that puts paid to any plan to re-present Magu to the Senate. They're over and done with it and really, no say e person should advocate or support a senseless back and forth in the subject.

It cannot be that Magu is d only qualified person to head d EFCC. If he drops dead tomorrow (God forbid) then what happens? Will the EFCC be shut down forever? The President failed to act in time by sending Mugu for confirmation immediately after nominating him in acting capacity. Why wait for about 8 months within which time Magu would've been exposed by d nature of the job and by his own corrupt n thieving tendencies too?

The Presidency should consider it a their failure, count their losses, nominate someone else and let the Senate screen and confirm if they will.

the so called standing rule of the senate is only binding on the senate and is useless outside the national assembly. It seems saraki has forgotten that he has both forgery and asset declaration cases on his neck.
By the time buhari starts retaliating, nobody should shout witch-hunting.

Then Saraki and majority of the senators shouldn't be in the chamber. Saraki case is not mere allegation, he has been docked several times.

babyfaceafrica:
But he can be in acting capacity for life

Yeah. And he will send all the senators to prison while acting

olabrad:


Yeah. And he will send all the senators to prison while acting

I like that

I can't believe I spent over 1 hour checking the federation's script for confirmation because of this fake news site.

Surely there must be some strong reasons why PMB wants Magu as his anti corruption Czar. If there are valid basis for his recommendation for the job, the Presidency should just empower him to continue in acting capacity until Nigerians REALLY begin to see his effectiveness or lack of it.

This back and forth episode is draining and hasn't led us anywhere!

That's my point, it is binding on the Senate and they will not waive it for Magu. We've become too used to personalised governance that's why we don't recognise n respect institutions rather we go on and on about the person. Why should the leadership of the EFCC be so personal to d president that he'll retaliate against the Senate because they didn't confirm his nominee? Is the Senate bound to confirm all his nominees as per rubber stamp with no power or discretion?

That is why d machinery of state is always deployed to personal use hence the perpetual backwardness n failure of this country. It's crazy really.

badaru1:

After being docked what has been proven against him? The dock is not conclusive proof of guilt and is no indictment at all.

Then he will remain in acting capacity and expose you all

freeze001:

It's an ongoing court process. He's not off the hook and in fact, he's getting more and more charges pilled on his head.

It's is only in lawless Nigeria indicted official stays in office because they are shameless and also because they enjoy the support of corruption loving people like you.

EnaibeSam:

He will remain in that capacity for 8 years so they are on a long thing.

Mekus68:
With or without Magu, with the Northernization policy of Buhari, he will still appoint somebody from the North to head the EFCC, and to continue from where Magu will stop by arresting his political enemies.

And as long as his political enemies are looters then I'm good.

It's effective to kill 2 birdies with one stone

Splashme:
Magu's performance that day was very poor.

Besides, it will be stewpid of President Buhari to even present
him 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

IPOD zombie showing his frustration as usual. must u insult d president before u make ur point E still no go release that Albino terrorist from kuje. thank u.

but the rule he is quoting used the word 'neither' and not 'either'...This guy does not understand the rule and is interpreting it backward.

And EFCC is not a ministerial and not subject to the 21 working days criteria.

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"

Read these astonishing revelations in a signed statement from Ibrahim Magu

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/226418-exclusive-magu-told-buhari-sss-allegations.html

Buhari now has all the evidence he needs to make Magu the first efcc chair that will be charged to court for corrupt practices. From accepting private jet freebies from a crime suspect, and accepting palatial mansions as inducements from Umar, a known man-friend of dem dem unchained mad dog identifiers, to helping fake pastor fake professor (no phd) Osinbajo and Aisha Halliburton of Za Oda Room bury Dumebi Kachikwu's petrodollar scam. The revelations of the degree of interference Osinbajo and Sagay have indulged in is an eye-opener! This is the biggest test of Buhari's integrity, and he is about to fail. But whether Buhari acts properly by sacking Magu or not, these documents, intended as rebuttal, shall certainly form the core of a future government's case file against Magu and other members of Buhari's administration, in a proper anti-corruption trial. What a spectacular own goal. Even the cost of Umar's private jet that Magu took (an inducement worth tens of thousands of dollars) to "see his sick mother" would have built a complete teaching hospital in the beleagured north eastern state of Maiduguri. This signed statement from Ibrahim Magu is corruption as its most brazen. Did Magu the illiterate that can barely write even write that word "preposterous" himself? Or did Fake Pastor Fake Professor Vice President Yemi Osinbajo write it for him as usual?.... Good thing Magu signed it, and ostensibly made it without any duress, fully admissible in any competent court of law. One can only wonder how Magu can boldfacedly accept a Transparency International/Global Witness invitation to speak on anti-corruption in UK while mired neck-deep in bureaucratic corruption! Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose. Disgusting.

who among the senathieves has not been indicted or have one or two cases in court even senate President has a case with CCB and CCT why didnt he resign. this is Nigeria ore you can't step down from any office unless u ar convicted indictments and allegations are just games of politics in Nigeria

omowolewa:
Someone is taking this issue personal.

Or Saraki acting by proxy through the dimwit, Melaye.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Any country that tolerate the like of this Melaye is a write-off.

Melaye or whatever is his name is the type of irresponsible people that make up Nigeria's Senate. Unfortunate.
