President Muhammadu Buhari wants Ibrahim Magu to be confirmed as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission despite his earlier rejection by the Senate.
The President’s renomination letter was read by Senate President, Bukola Saraki after the Senate resumed from a closed door session which lasted about 80 minutes.
President Buhari has also rejected the Senate recommendation that the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal be sacked over corruption charges.
Buhari said the decision was informed by the failure of the senate ad hoc committee on the humanitarian crisis in the northeast to give Lawal a fair hearing.
