The Nigerian
senate has stepped down on confirmation of President Buhari's 27 REC nominees
in protest against Ibrahim Magu's continued headship of EFCC.
The Senators
made the decision at Tuesday's plenary over what they termed as "Buhari's
appointees disrespect to the senate."
Sen. Anyanwu,
while speaking at the plenary said "If the Senate is ridiculed our
institution has been ridiculed, we will try as much as possible to promote this
institution"
Senator
Francis Alimikhena who also supported the motion, said "Lets hear from
Muhammadu Buhari on Magu's case, Magu is terrorising us, because we
disqualified him."
Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu said there's a time frame to stand down the
confirmation and implored the Senate President Bukola Saraki to convey their
feelings to Mr. President.
Senate
President Bukola Saraki then put the question and the Confirmation of INEC RECs
was suspended for two weeks.
Looks like
Magu is a BIG problem to some senators.
