In a letter, which reliable sources said was sent to the Office of the President of the Senate on Sunday night, Buhari pleaded with the lawmakers to confirm Magu.
It was gathered that the President’s stance stemmed from the fact that the acting EFCC chairman had been cleared of allegations against him in the security report by the Department of State Services.
Buhari’s letter was in response to the communication from the Senate on the rejection of Magu’s nomination for the EFCC chairmanship.
It was further learnt that the President addressed the issue of Senate’s allegation of misconduct against the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Babachir Lawal.
A source, who is close to the leadership of the Senate, on Monday, revealed to media sources, that the President appealed to the Senate to confirm Magu.
