Based on an advisory prepared by judicial and legal experts on Section 171 of the 1999 Constitution, the Presidency has insisted that Mr. Ibrahim Magu's nomination as the substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, does not require Senate confirmation.
According
to report, the advisory discovered a ruling of the Supreme Court on the matter
where Justice Walter Onnoghen, before his elevation as Chief
Justice of Nigeria CJN, had ruled in line with the view of the Presidency on
the case.
Despite
this, the Presidency, however, said it will await the judicial review of
Section 171 to determine the fate of Magu.
