Senate President, Bukola Saraki has told President Muhammadu Buhari to send another nominee for the position of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
This comes after the Senate rejected Ibrahim Magu for the second time on Wednesday.
Saraki explained that the lawmakers had played their constitutional role as an arm of government on the matter.
He also called on Buhari to send a replacement quickly so the activities of the EFCC will not be affected.
“With the screening being carried out in a transparent manner, we see democracy at work.
“I believe we have played our part; we have followed the Constitution and due process.
“We hope that the executive will quickly act and bring in another name as soon as possible so that the activities of the agency will not be crippled,” Saraki stated.
