The President also sought the confirmation of Suleiman and Dantata as members of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.
President Tinubu more than a week ago appointed Dr Aliyu, as the new Chairman of ICPC.
The presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale in a statement released on Wednesday said, “The new Chairman of the ICPC is nominated for confirmation by the Nigerian Senate, following the President’s approval of the outgoing Chairman’s request to proceed on pre-end of tenure leave beginning on November 4, 2023, ahead of the expiration of his tenure on February 3, 2024.”
According to Ajuri, the appointment was “in furtherance of the Renewed Hope mandate to reform key institutions and invigorate Nigeria’s war on corruption.”
Meanwhile, the Senate equally swore in Senator Amos Yohanna representing Adamawa North senatorial district.
