The nominee of President Muhammadu Buhari for the position of Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Bello Mahmud, from Zamfara state has been rejected again by the Senate.

This is the second time Mahmud would be rejected by the upper legislative chamber.

It was learnt that when the issue came up during plenary after a senator, Kabir Marafa’s point of order, his colleagues rejected his arguments and two prayers.

The leadership of the Senate told Marafa that it can only refer the issue to a committee of the chamber.

Saraki said the issue is supposed to be handled by a committee and it was unanimously adopted.
