Itse Sagay to Senate :Magu remains EFCC Boss

The chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption, Itse Sagay, says the appointment of Ibrahim Magu, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), will be “renewed” whether he is confirmed or not. The senate refused to confirm Magu’s appointment after leaving the matter pending for five months. It has become obvious that the fear of Magu’s curruption fight has become the beginning of wisdom to the Senators. “Since Nuhu Ribadu left, we have not had a man with such sterling qualities as Ibrahim Magu and whether they like it or not, Magu will be there until he completes his term under the law.” The EFCC chairman has a four-year tenure. From the EFCC Act, non-confirmation does not impair his duties. In the interview, Sagay said Magu’s delayed confirmation was “corruption fighting back”.
