Discussions
are currently being held between the Presidency and senate over the
confirmation of EFCC boss, Magu who has been rejected twice.
Ibrahim Magu
The presidency has opened discussions with the Senate leadership
over the refusal of the upper chamber to confirm the head of the
country’s anti-graft agency.
The Senate twice refused to confirm Ibrahim Magu as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
But the government has kept Magu in office in acting capacity for over one year now.
This has, however, drawn the ire of the Senate which has stood down
nearly all nomination requests from the Presidency until Magu is
removed.
Sources told Daily Trust yesterday that the Presidency has reached
out to the Senate in order to find a middle ground upon which the
dispute could be resolved.
A meeting to that effect was held on Monday with both parties, our
sources said. Presidency and Senate sources said, at the moment,
confirmation of close to 50 nominees of the president is pending.
Confirmation of nominees for the Deputy Governor and four members
of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN), Pension Commission (PenCom), Code of Conduct Bureau (CBB),
Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), National Lottery
Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA)
among others, are pending.
Contacted, Senior Special Assistant to the President on National
Assembly (Senate), Senator Ita Enang confirmed that the presidency has
resumed talk with the Senate.
“We are not resting on our oars; we are conducting the best and
highest level of diplomacy. We have started talking again; we have
changed the tone of our speaking. We are arriving at something like a
middle ground that would be satisfactory to all parties.
“So long that these appointments stand unconfirmed, foreign
investment, funding from foreign partners and governance are being
affected. We are not attacking, we are engaging and I believe in the
next few days, the result will be evidenced and we will come out of it,”
he said.
Asked whether the executive has agreed to sack Magu, Enang said: “We are working with them and we are arriving at some solutions “.
When a correspondent asked him to list the number of pending confirmation, he said: “We have nominees for NERC, CBN, Pension Commission, NDIC, NDDC among others.”
Again when asked on whether the executive has agreed to implement
the resolution on Magu, he repeated: “We are arriving at some solutions
“.
Meanwhile, the Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Rufus
O. Akeju (Lagos) and Mohammed Isah (Kebbi) as Resident Electoral
Commissioners of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The confirmation followed the consideration of the report of Senate
committee of INEC on the screening chaired by Senator Suleiman Nazif
(APC,Bauchi). The Senate approved the recommendation of the committee
rejecting Ahmad Bello Mahmud ( Zamfara).
The confirmation came five months after 12 other nominees (RECs)
had been confirmed. A correspondent reports that Senator Tijjani Kaura
(APC, Zamfara) and Senator Kabiru Marafa clashed over the Zamfara
nominee.
While Marafa was in favour of the confirmation of the nominee,
Kaura objected to it on the grounds that the (nominee) was not from
Zamfara state. He said the nominee is from Sokoto state.
