President Muhammadu Buhari’s letter seeking Senate reconsideration of Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) did not address the security report against the nominee.
The Senate had rejected the nomination of Magu over a report of the Department of State Services (DSS) which indicted him of fraud.
In a letter read by Senate President Bukola Saraki yesterday, Buhari said he has “received adequate clarification considering the matters relied upon by the Senate in arriving at its decision.”
Buhari however appealed to the Senate to reconsider Magu’s nomination.
Senate spokesman, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC, Niger) said Magu’s renomination “would be subjected to our legislative processes. The letter did not address the DSS report. The Senate will deliberate and inform the public of our next line of action”.
