Court’s ruling vindicated our position on Magu – Senate
The Senate said on Thursday that its rejection of Ibrahim Magu as Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had been vindicated by a court ruling on the matter.
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Aliyu Sabi-Abdullahi, who briefed journalists in Abuja, said a Federal High Court had ruled that the upper legislative chamber had the powers to confirm or reject Magu’s appointment.
He said: “We are pleased with this judgment and we want to salute Nigeria’s judiciary for always rising up to the occasion to protect our democracy and deepen our democratic processes.”
The Senate had in May last year rejected Magu’s nomination as substantive EFCC chairman based on the Department of State Service (DSS) report which accused him of failing integrity test. Sabi-Abdullahi also said the Senate’s embargo on confirmation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s nominees for public offices would remain in place until Magu is replaced as EFCC chairman.
