The Acting Chairman of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has absolved the
Commission of blame over the return of embattled former Chairman of the
Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Abdulrasheed Maina.
Magu spoke with journalists at
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Abuja, after a meeting between the African
Union delegation and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, Amb. Olukunle Bamgbose.
The meeting was a follow-up to
the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari by the 29th Ordinary Session of
the African Union Assembly, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in July, 2017, as the
champion of the Union’s theme for 2018 titled “Winning the Fight Against
Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation.”
Asked to comment on how Maina
entered the country without the knowledge of the EFCC, he said,
“We should
reserve that for another time.”
“We have done our best. We have
declared him a wanted person. It is on our website”.
On efforts to unravel those
behind the reinstatement of Maina into the Federal Civil Service, particularly
the Ministry of Interior, Magu said he would speak at the appropriate time.
“No. At the appropriate time, I
would make statement on this issue,” Magu declared.
Earlier, Magu said the visit by
the AU delegation was an indication that there is an effective political will
to fight corruption in the country.
He added that the fact that the
whole world recognised President Buhari as an anti-corruption person was
encouraging.
“You and I know that he is not
kidding. He is not pretending. There is no pretence in his will to fight
corruption. There is no doubt about that,” Magu stated.
yes time will tell when a wanted man can not be located where he is yet he enter the country get an appointment ,and has not been arrested ( this is a real dream )
ReplyDeleteMagu...You are confused right?? Now you dont have a answer to give anymore. Was this the oat of office you took. You cant be bold now to arrest the president and his crew for the International blunder made by them. Its clear you are not fighting any corruption but acting a script for your pay masters. Nigerian situation is worst. APC..ALL PAST CRIMINALS
ReplyDeleteThis is the right time to show u ar really fight corruption,why dont you arrest PMB and his fellow accompanist. If you are the FBI director in the USA you would have done this but now you must respect you ogah at the top. All Corruption fighting cases in Nigeria are finally killed by Mainas case
