- The EFCC insists the senate cannot remove him
Ibrahim Magu, the acting chairman of
the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has said he only
needs the support of President
Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo
to remain in his position.
Magu said this on Friday, July 7, 2017 in
Kano when he hosted some civil society
groups.
Magu had been rejected at least twice
by the Senate. The upper legislative
chamber has now threatened a face-off
with the executive if Magu is not
removed immediately.
But the presidency has maintained that
it will not send Magu away despite
tension being created by the senators.
Magu reportedly said: “We should thus
use our greater number to push these
minor criminals out of service before
they cause serious problems in the
country
“My messages to these corrupt persons,
hanging around our necks and using all
criminal strategies to create disharmony
among Nigerians, is that their times are
up; this one is a fight to finish.
“What more do we need? I think the
backing of the President and his vice is
enough for us to win the fight and we
shall win it, no doubt about that, the end
of this fight is just around the corner.”
The acting chairman lamented that the
country was held bound by just about
1000 corrupt Nigerians.
