The Ag President asked for it.

Those officials are only saying they are loyal to Buhari alone and not PYO.

Omooba77:
Today makes it exactly 60 days President Buhari left the shore of Nigeria for London.
Nobody knows what is really happening because no update anywhere.
Pray for him, but things need to be put right.

They say they want to censor social media because you people are talking too much about the president's health. So stop talking about him. We have many other serious and interesting issues to deliberate upon.

The allegiance of this people is not to the presidency but to Buhari. That is why they make such undermining statements.

Magu’s confirmation controversy: Sagay, others knock AGF, El-Rufai says Magu’ll remain EFCC chairman



The Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), has said going by the constitution, any minister, who openly disagrees with Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, risks being sacked for insubordination.



Sagay said this in a statement on Thursday.

The PACAC chairman therefore berated the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), for taking a separate stance from Osinbajo over the refusal of the Senate to confirm the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu.

A few hours after Malami had said Osinbajo did not consult the Federal Executive Council before saying the executive did not need Senate confirmation for Magu to function, Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, described the acting President’s comment as a ‘‘personal opinion.’’

Malami, who is also the Minister of Justice, had, while briefing State House correspondents after the weekly FEC meeting on Wednesday, said Osinbajo’s statement that Magu did not need Senate confirmation was a personal opinion and not that of the body of ministers.

However, Sagay said Malami was out of order because the constitution stated clearly that the opinion or decision of the President or acting President was final and could not be questioned by any minister.

Also, the Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership believed those opposing the acting President could be saboteurs in the Presidency while a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Norrison Quakers, pointed out that a situation where officials of government disagree with the head of that government was dangerous.

Sagay explained that any minister, who openly disagreed with the President or the acting President, deserved to be sacked going by Section 5(1) of the 1999 Constitution, which states that executive powers of the Federation shall be vested in the President, not in the Executive Council of the Federation.

He argued that ministers and the FEC had no executive authority outside what was granted them by the President or Acting President.

The PACAC chairman, a senior advocate of Nigeria, added, “The Executive Council of the Federation, also known as FEC, cannot have views that are separate or different from those of the President, or where applicable, the Acting President; otherwise, that will constitute gross insubordination and misconduct that can lead to dismissal.

“Therefore, the slant being given to the statement of the Attorney General of the Federation, namely; that the Executive Council of the Federation is entitled to meet in order to express an opinion or view on a matter on which the President or Acting President has already expressed his views or opinions is wrong, misleading and totally unconstitutional.”

Also, the CACOL feared that there could be saboteurs in the Presidency, who were not comfortable with the fight against corruption and who would want Magu removed.

The CACOL Director, Debo Adeniran, said, “Some of those ministers appointed by President Buhari are those who will not support him to fight corruption hands down. There are several executives in the Presidency who will be sabotaging the bids of the President and the acting President.

“We know that the ascendancy of this administration to power rests on its readiness to fight corruption. The EFCC chairman has been able to demonstrate courage, standing eyeball-to-eyeball with people who feel they are larger than life.’’

In his reaction, another SAN, Mr. Norrison Quakers, said the development was not healthy for the polity as it portrayed the Federal Government as a house divided against itself.

Quakers stated, “Quite frankly speaking, this is not healthy for the polity; it strikes at the heart of our constitutional democracy.

‘‘Therefore, if he (acting President) expressed any opinion, it should not be seen as a personal opinion.

“This development portrays the Federal Government as a house divided against itself.”

Quakers, who recalled that even before Buhari proceeded on his medical vacation in the United Kingdom, he had, through his spokesman, stated that Magu would continue to act as the EFCC chairman.

He explained that Osinbajo’s position was not at variance with Buhari’s position.

He added, “As the Chief Law Officer of the nation, the AGF is not expected to toe any political line on any issues but to state the position of the law.

‘‘It is not healthy for a member of the Federal Executive Council to speak against the acting President, to say that what the acting President said was his personal opinion.”

However, a Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Dele Adeogun, said the differences between the executive and the legislature over Magu’s position should be subjected to judicial interpretation rather than for the legislature to say it would no longer screen any appointee sent to it by the executive.

Presidency to retain Magu as EFCC chair, says el-Rufai

Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, on Thursday, declared that the Presidency had decided that it would retain Magu as the head of the EFCC.

El-Rufai, who represented Osinbajo at the inauguration of the Kaduna office of the EFCC, noted that as long as the President Buhari – led administration lasted, Magu would not be removed.

“I had a discussion with the President (Buhari) on the Magu issue. He said he has every confidence in the work that the commission, led by Magu, is doing, and as long as he (Buhari) is President, you (Magu) remain the chairman of the EFCC.

“For those who believe that Magu is their nightmares, he will remain there for the next two years. I spoke with the Acting President last night (Wednesday) and he affirmed what the President said,” el-Rufai said.

He added that he had recovered over N500m without making any noise from past government officials and contractors in the state, stating that the corrupt officials would be handed over to the commission for prosecution.

Magu, in his address at the event, called for the establishment of ‘special’ prisons for corrupt Nigerians at the Sambisa Forest, said to be the stronghold of the terror sect, Boko Haram, in the past.

He said this would be possible if only the judiciary would cooperate with the commission.

Magu said, “We want to call for the establishment of a prison in Sambisa Forest in order to keep away corrupt people from our midst.’’

FEC didn’t disown Osinbajo, says Malami

But the AGF, on Thursday night, alleged that his statement that Osinbajo’s comment on Magu was not the position of FEC, was distorted.

Malami said in a statement posted on the Facebok page of Aso Rock Villa on Thursday that he did not say that FEC disowned Osinbajo as reported.

He stated, “All matters relating to presidential appointments and nominations are strictly a matter for the Presidency to handle. They are not for the Federal Executive Council, and are therefore not discussed at FEC level. This was the point I made yesterday at the press briefing, and which was unfortunately distorted by the media.”

I am not Fayose's advocate but we belittle ourselves with this type of politics. It is the same reason Buhari is still president even though it is obvious to all that age has taken its toll on him in the name of it is our turn even though his vice is more sound and knowlegeable than him.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu has said the statement made by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on the confirmation of Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, was a personal opinion.

In an interview, Osinbajo had said Senate confirmation was not needed for the EFCC chairman based on the provisions of Section 171 of the constitution.

The statement had angered the Senate which agreed to suspend confirmation of all appointments made by the Presidency.

Shehu while speaking with journalists in Abuja said the statement was Osinbajo’s personal opinion which he made as vice-president.

He said, “Our understanding is that some remarks made by the Acting President some months ago when he was the Vice-President, because the President was around at that time, an opinion he gave is being misconstrued.

“A senior lawyer in the country offered an opinion, in which he said some categories of public officers, traditionally cleared by the National Assembly, need not go through that process, that those ones can be appointed through presidential fiat; they don’t have to go through screening.

“But several months ago, in his position as Vice-President, Prof. Osinbajo gave a personal opinion, saying what this lawyer said makes sense.”

Shehu however assured all stakeholders that the current face-off would be resolved through dialogue.

He said, “There is no official position by the government of Nigeria, and the Federal Executive Council never sat down to take a decision to say that some categories of officials will not be sent to the National Assembly any longer.

“The authority of the Senate, under the Constitution to screen and pass nominees, has never been questioned by the government or the Federal Executive Council.

“From the time the Vice-President gave that opinion till now, more than 20 nominations have been forwarded to the Senate and quite a number of them have been screened, sworn in and are now occupying positions.

“Therefore, this is not a big issue as some people want to make it. The party, government and the National Assembly will sit at a round table and this matter will be discussed and resolved.”

YNAIJA

Their game is very clear. They want to heat up the polity and make things difficult for Osinbajo inorder to bring him to the negotiation table where they will give him conditions like Saraki requesting that they drop the appeal against the CCT tribunal judgement. By the way, I thought they said PMB was improving and will soon be back. Why are they now jostling for his job? Nonsense.

wristbangle:
Mere looking at the senate president gives the impression the man is a hardened con and he knows if the acting president becomes the commander in chief till 2019, his secrets will be reveal hence loosing power.

His agenda with his fellow wicked cohorts will fail by God's grace and come to think of it, this wicked soul destroyed the once booming ilorin city to a nightmare arena. He riddled under his father's wimp to deceive kwarans just like the way he is using his camouflage skills to get to power at all cost.

This is someone who enjoys the width of wealth under PDP/APC rule and this is someone we should channel our frustration on and his likes but instead senseless agitation is what we are seeing.

For how long are we going to keep quiet on these wicked men?

The seperatist demon that possessed Ojukwu which made him lead igbo to war and lead to the death of many has found a new abode in Kanu. People have started dying while his family is abroad. Before more damage and death is recorded we need to bound him and take him to TB Joshua for deliverance before more damage is done. The prison will not reform him.

MediumStout:
The Constitution is clear on who becomes president if the seat is declared vacant. Osinbajo will soon be sworn in as Commander in chief of Armed forces if Buhari cannot continue to lead the country. Let's stop heating up the polity but rather focus on the ravaging mad man called Nnamdi Kanu whose present treasonous actions like his predecessor Ojukwu could trigger a second civil war if not curtailed. Nnamdi Kanu and his myriads of frustrated IPOB youths are constituting nuisances all over the east. The DSS and federal government should take actions before it's too late. Nnamdi Kanu can only be stopped by putting him back in prison. His release reignited the present madness we are witnessing. Nigeria's Unity is not negotiable. No group or entity will be allowed to break or destabilize the unity and diversity of the Nigerian state. Biafra will never become reality. Even ojukwu with his military experience tried and failed. Who the hell is kanu? One Nigeria we shall remain

Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACAC), Prof. Itse Sagay has described the Senate as a ‘confused’ assembly.

Sagay said this while reacting to the suspednsion of confirmation of appointees over a statement made by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.

Osinbajo had reportedly said the President was empowered to make some appointments without seeking legislative approval as provided in Section 171 of the Constitution.

He was reportedly speaking about the refusal of the Senate to confirm Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the EFCC.

Sagay however said the senators wee afraid because their hands were not clean.

He said Magu was an executive appointee who could not be sacked by legislative pronouncement.

He said, “Those who have profited from the corruption that has ravaged this country for years are the ones the Senate is trying to please. Magu is an executive official appointed by the executive arm and he has powers under the EFCC Act, and clearly, the constitution gives the President the power to appoint him.

“The Senate cannot be both legislature and executive. They cannot determine who should be sacked or not. They can do that for their legislative aides but not for members of agencies under the executive branch.

“This is a confused Senate which does not know whether it is a legislative body or an executive body. It wants to be co-executive with the Presidency which is not possible.”
