Senate Reaffirms Position on The Call To Sack Ibrahim Magu as Chairman EFCC.

The Senate has renewed its war with the executive, reaffirming its position that it is not going back on the sack of Ibrahim Magu as the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Senate spokesman, Sen Sabi Abdullahi made this known on Thursday while clearing air on the controversies surrounding its suspension of the confirmation of nominees from president Muhmmadu Buhari.
This is coming as the lawmakers continued to insist that they would not consider any nomination in line with their July 4, 2017 resolution to suspend all executive confirmation requests until Magu is removed.
Sen Abdullahi adding that, the impasse would persist until the Senate’s power of confirmation of nominees to the boards of commissions established by enabling laws but not listed in the 1999 Constitution as amended, is clarified.
He further told newsmen after the plenary session, that a court has given a judgment affirming that the senate not only have the power to confirm a nominee but also has the power to reject any nominee from the president
