It has been revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari has resubmitted Ibrahim Magu's name to the Senate for confirmation.
Ibrahim Magu, Acting EFCC Chairman
President Muhammadu Buhari has once again submitted the name of
Ibrahim Magu, the current acting chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC), as his candidate for the substantive
chairmanship of the anti-corruption agency, reports SaharaReporters.
According to the report, Magu's name was forwarded to the office of the Nigerian Senate President Bukola Saraki on Friday.
“I can confirm that President Buhari submitted Ibrahim Magu’s name just
before he began a 10-day vacation in Britain on Thursday,” the presidential source revealed.
Many are worried that the move might be anti-people considering
that President Muhammadu Buhari has failed to make public a report by
the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami who had queried
Magu over allegations of a security report which indicted the EFCC boss.
The Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS),
Lawal Daura had accused Magu of acting in a high-handed manner as well
as being entangled in a conflict of interest with an allegedly corrupt
Nigerian businessman which forced the Senate to reject him.
Following the Senate’s rejection of Mr. Magu, President Buhari set
up a panel led by the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar
Malami, to probe the allegations against the acting EFCC chairman.
