Mr. Ibrahim Magu was on Wednesday rejected by the Nigerian Senate as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the basis of a security report compiled by the State Security Service.
Constitutional lawyer, Femi Falana has listed three other options open to President Muhammadu Buhari on the acting EFCC Chairman:
1. Mr. Magu’s nomination may be re-presented to the Senate if and when the Federal Government decides to put its house in order
2. Alternatively, the President may allow Mr. Magu to remain the Acting Chairman of the EFCC since he was appointed in that capacity pursuant to section 171 of the Constitution.
3. But if the President is not satisfied with Mr. Magu’s performance he is at liberty to appoint another person whose nomination will be forwarded to the Senate in accordance with section 2 (3) of the EFCC Act, 2004.
