Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo
said that the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, is “going nowhere”.While speaking when he hosted select media organisations, at the
presidential villa in Abuja, on Thursday,
Recall that the Nigerian Senate had earlier demanded the
replacement of the chairman of the anti-graft body who failed its
screening on two separate occasions, but the presidency has allowed Magu
to carry on with his job.
According to TheCable, the VP today said Magu has not committed any offence, hence, he is going no where. “Magu is going nowhere. Seriously, what offence has this man committed?” he asked.
“I have known him personally right from the time of the very
first chairman of the commission till now, he is a very dedicated,
trustworthy gentleman. Don’t forget he is also the most senior official
of the EFCC.”
Osibanjo said the executive would not be stampeded over the matter of the EFCC chairman.
