The presidency has reacted to the
Senate’s rejection of Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFFC) saying this has to be officially
communicated to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Magu
was screened by the Senate on Wednesday, March 15 three months after
his confirmation was first rejected but at the end of the second
screening, his confirmation was refused again.
In
addition, the Senate insisted that Magu had lost the power to continue
in the capacity as acting chairman of the EFCC and thus President Buhari
should re-nominate another person for the position.
Femi Adesina who is the special
adviser to the president on media and publicity tweeted that President
Buhari would duly respond to the rejection when the Senate sends him an
official letter.
The rejection of Magu
has raised suspicion that President Buhari has lost some of his powers
with speculation that he was not in charge anymore.
