The upper legislative chamber reached the decision during its plenary session on Tuesday, March 28.
The Senate’s move is in protest of Ibrahim Magu’s continued stay as acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) despite a rejection by the legislators.
“Senator Nwaoboshi suggests that Senate may step down the Confirmation since they are acting & @MBuhari's appointees disrespect the Senate,” the Senate wrote via its Twitter handle on Tuesday.

“Sen. Uroghide also wants the request to be stand down, cites Magu's case, that after their decision he is still acting Chairman of the EFCC.
“SP, @bukolasaraki puts the question and the Confirmation of INEC REC is stood down for two weeks,” it said.
The Senate, on March 15, refused to confirm Magu for the position citing a report by the Department of State Services (DSS) which questioned his integrity.
