The Senate has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency sack Acting Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu.

According to the Senate, failure to do that means it would henceforth not attend to nominations from the Presidency, just as it vowed that it would not in any way, jettison its earlier position on the EFCC boss.

According to the Senate, the impasse would persist until its power of confirmation of nominees to the boards of commissions established by enabling laws, but not listed in the 1999 Constitution as amended was clarified.

Senate spokesman, Mr Sabi Abdullahi made this known on Thursday while clearing the air on the controversies surrounding its suspension of the confirmation of nominees from president Muhmmadu Buhari.
