The Red chamber then rejected Magu s confirmation based on the one of the reports dated October 3, 2016.President Buhari had in January resubmitted Magus name to the Senate for confirmation as EFCC chairman.After some questioning by the Senate, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, put Magus confirmation to a voice vote. Majority of the lawmakers responded, nay to his confirmation and the Senate rejected it accordingly.
