Ndume said further that the Senate had only agreed to withhold Magu’s confirmation due to allegations made against him by the Department of State Services (DSS).
“My position on Magu is clear and I stand by it. Magu has not been rejected,” Ndume told Punch.
“Check our Votes and Proceedings (of Thursday); it is clear and concise. The Senate President, (Dr. Bukola Saraki), while reporting the progress of the executive session, said, ‘following the security report on Magu, the Senate decided not to confirm Magu and communicate the same to Mr. President, the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation.’

“That was our position and the Senate President aptly reported the progress of the executive session. So, I wonder how and where rejection was brought in. We have not rejected him because that cannot be done in a closed session and the confirmation processes have not taken place,” he added.
The DSS report alleged that Magu lives in a home which was paid for by a corrupt individual.
