Ali Ndume insists that lawmakers did not reject nomination of acting chairman for EFCC

The Majority Leader of the Senate, Ali Ndume,  on Wednesday insisted that the lawmakers did not reject the nomination of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Magu.

In a text message sent to our correspondent, Ndume stated that the Senate, at the closed door session on Thursday, agreed to withhold Magu’s  confirmation pending the decision President Muhammadu Buhari would make on the security report by the Department of State Services that indicted the nominee. According to him, the rejection of Magu was “brought in” after the collective decision of the lawmakers.
Ndume’s message read, “My position on Magu is clear and I stand by it. Magu has not been rejected.
