Saraki reads Buhari’s letter on Magu’s renomination

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Tuesday read the letter of President Muhammadu Buhari re-nominating the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu as substantive Chairman of the commission.

Buhari urged the Senate to please accept Magu’s nomination and reconsider him.

The letter was read after over one hour closed session.

For over an hour, Senators were in secret meeting over the communication of President Muhammadu Buhari on the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu.

It was gathered that at the meeting which started around 10.42am, Senators expressed reservations on the communication of the President.

The Senate had in December rejected Magu over the report of the Department of State Services (DSS) which indicted him.
