Lobby, political solution‘d have confirmed Magu, says Saraki
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Monday threw light on the controversial refusal of the Senate to confirm the appointment of Mr. Ibrahm Magu as substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
Saraki attempted to parry questions on why the National Assembly did not go to court for a definite pronouncement on the failed confirmation of Magu’s appointment as substantive EFCC Chairman.Saraki said that it is left to the Executive arm of government to find a replacement of a ministerial nominee if rejected by the Senate.
He noted however that “in cases like the EFCC chairman, there is always the need for political solution and dialogue to solve the issue. The Clerk to the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, who flagged off the orientation, spoke on the overview of the National Assembly including structure, functions and inter-parliamentary relations.
