Senate stands down confirmation of INEC RECs because of Magu

Twitter is ablaze right now after it was discovered that the Senate failed to confirm INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners nominated by President Buhari. The senators said the reason was because Magu is still the acting boss of the EFCC after they (Senate) rejected him to lead the agency.

Twitter users feel it is not okay to reject the nominations of the INEC RECs because of Magu who head another agency. See tweets by the Senate as regards the issue below:
