In a letter written to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on March 19, 2012, and titled “Re: Postings/Transfer and secondments of police officers to the EFCC,” Mr. Lamorde put Mr. Magu as top on the list of police officers he wanted to be deployed to the EFCC.

Magu wins, Nigeria Wins

With the new Sherrif in town, Nigeria will always get it right. Magu's appointment is a clear sign that Baba is really ready to fight corruption, and to the end. If Buhari was a corrupt leader, the corrupt ones would have through 'magu magu', as they have always done, halted the elevation of Magu to the EFCC chairman.

You all can imagine how 'corruption' will be trembling on hearing Magu is the new EFCC chairman.

The fight against corruption has just begun. And 'corruption' itself knows this.. You can quote me anywhere

When this man finally start his job, nobody should shout witch hunting!
He should start with Lamorde, establish himself with Deziani( I don't care what Dele Momodu have to say about her), then give PDP big thieves uppercut for their 16 years looting of our treasury.

Magu the Slayer of Corruption is back!

And Saraki knows it

Nice one midolian!

I love this title. Corruption is in a big sh*t

Lalasticlala

In a letter written to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) on March 19, 2012, and titled “Re: Postings/Transfer and secondments of police officers to the EFCC,” Mr. Lamorde put Mr. Magu as top on the list of police officers he wanted to be deployed to the EFCC.

Ibrahim replacing another Ibrahim in a govt of Ibrahims yet someone expects corruption to be fought with vigour.

Meanwhile at the CCT, the corrupt CCT chairman Danladi Umar is being used to fight the equally corrupt Saraki, how did we get here as a nation?

Mmmmmh

Hmmmmmm

A golden fish has no hiding place.
God has a way of elevating the oppressed.

We were gifted an opportunity to reposition this country in 1993 but the agents of darkness truncated it, albeit, temporarily. This made us to roam in the wilderness for 22years. I feared, then, that God has forsaken us.

But, alas, God is not a sleeping one. I believe he must have hearken to our wails at the edge of demise.
And , lo and behold, we are gifted again another chance rarely seen from anals of men, to have another chance at greatness.

We shall never let this opportunity pass by. We shall preserve it with our last drop of blood. We shall overcome the forces that pull us apart with the forces that pull us together.

God bless PMB.
God bless Nigeria.

What life has taught me.. Always give thanks to God in whatever condition you find yourself, especially in bad situations.. Here is a man who was humiliated, treated like a common criminal, detained for no reason, salary stopped and almost dismissed.. Today look at where God has placed him. In deed their is God.

History is a strict accountant. His unblemished record has paved way for him. You never can tell who is watching!
That shows PMB's resolution to fight corruption. It must be seriously and honestly tackled.

Buhari is not fighting corruption but witch haunting PDP members

The fight has started with Amaechi and Fashola as foot soldiers. No wahala

Stunt.... End time

Great... He had Saraki's case file already...No time to waste...

If corruption must be fought, it must be fought with the right systems.

Obasanjo used Ribadu, Yaradua/ GEJ used Waziri/ Larmode...... Buhari will use Magu but THAT WILL NEVER END CORRUPTION WITHOUT INSTITUTING THE RIGHT SYSTEMS.

With people like Amaechi, Tinubu, Saraki, Obasanjo, Atiku, Babangida, Ngige, Okorocha, Timipreye Sylva etc going about their businesses unchecked. ...... the fight against corruption is dead before it started.

Only the right systems will ensure that there are no sacred cows. Anything else will end up as selective witch hunt.

The least corrupt democratic nations of the world have no obvious and loud anti-corruption outfits and equivalent EFCC chairmen. ..... rather they have systems that works.

Without much noise around jailing anyone, GEJ dealt with ghost workers, fertilizer scams, public procurement schemes processes.

No democracy around the world have succeeded in ridding corruption by attributing its fight to an individual.... only the right systems can ensure a sustained fight against corruption.

E.g. .... If Buhari's fight against corruption in 1983 was effective, how come corruption continued till date?

Africa does not need strong men, Africa needs institutions - Obama

Great

- An Attorney General of the calibre of Femi Falana would be required to balance the anti corruption fighting machinery

Nigeria shall be great again...

Thank God for PMB

P.S: Midolian abeg visit any NBC plant nearest to you and grab one soft drink of your choice. Tell them I shall pay, no worry.

Good

Ok

I wont agree until Saraki is convicted and in prison for his crimes.If not,then he should keep his gibberish to himself

Sai buhari

Welcome on board Mr 'Magnus' .Abeg nor magomago..Do unto those useless thieves as una do to dem yahoo boys.Once u catch a big thief,pls If possible,lace their bed with bugs

We should allow Mr Magu to resume work first before spreading all these unnecessary propaganda; this is to reduce the pressure on him on a very volatile post.

Another northerner.

Meanwhile nigeria is doomed under d great daura dūllàrd

Whether Witch hunting, backstabbing or whatever, All we want is a corruption free Nigeria. Corruption has been the bane to our development and actualization of our collective aspirations.

Wishing Magu success in this assignment.

Keep deceiving yourself.

While amaechi will soon become a minister

Story 4 the gods

In Buhari we trust

Name one governor serving a jail term in Nigeria, just one.
