Flashback: Nobody Can Remove Magu As EFCC Chairman Says Osinbajo by simeonabio(m): 3:03am On Jul 11, 2020
It is not longer news that the EFCC Chairman has been suspended, been queried for financial misappropriation of recovered loots. We need take journey back into time and remind ourselves what Osinbajo said about removing Magu as EFCC chairman. I hope the Vice president can still vouch for the same Magu as he did 3 years ago when the senate did not clear Magu.
As the Senate insists on the removal of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Thursday, declared that nobody can remove Magu from office.

Meanwhile, Magu has advocated the establishment of a special prison for corrupt people in the dreaded Sambisa forest, an enclave of the Boko Haram terrorists in the North-east in order to keep them away from people.

Speaking at the commissioning of the zonal office of the EFCC in Kaduna, Osinbajo, who was represented by the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, expressed confidence in the capacity of Magu in the fight against corruption.

He said he had spoken to President Mohammadu Buhari on Magu, adding that the president had assured him that as long as he (Buhari) remains president, Magu would not vacate the anti-corruption seat.

“We have every confidence in Magu to fight corruption to a standstill. He will remain the EFCC chairman as long as I remain the acting president and as well as Muhammadu Buhari remains the president,” he said.

Details later…

As a gallant police officer, I hope Magu will be seconded to sambisa forest aa he envisaged a prison for his fellow looting colleagues in the forest.
Politicians were coreupt , but the looters hunter was fantastically corrupt.

It is surprising that the person you trust to hold a position and cleanse it, turn out to be a corrupt fellow. The level of trust given to Magu by buhari and Osinbajo is high and they never expect him in this kind of situation. Who would have thought?

Given the circumstances at that time when the Senate tried to play politics using magu as bait, osinbajo was right to reject their antics
Imagine if buhari allowed Senate to control efcc, that would be an even worse fate.

Please where is the instance of where Osinbajo tried to outshine his Boss. If there's any you tell it. Speaking out of Assumptions might be dangerous for you.

I wish the prison he advocated for was built.

We can see the type of people Buhari have confidence in.

Where are those demonizing Saraki?

Though I don't know that one's motive

Supported magu after a four billion naira recharge.
Anyway magu is just an accused and he is still innocent until proven guilty.

But most of the issues with the man came from same DSS report senate used to disqualify him, but you refer to that as politics why ain't you so again now. What's the difference between presidency action and senate action?

Nigerians and their wrong assumptions, its always funny reading comments because you really can't change their mentality. Tribalism has clouded most of their good sense.

No one can remove him but those that Installed him. The comment up there shows how some Nigerians youths can not be productive because of the level of their thoughts and mentalities.

I don't really get the point of this throwback news. If he told us that he has confidence in Magu and Magu later fumbled, should that be his fault? or did any court has ever declare the said Magu guilty of the offence? OP should get more sense abeg

They're just hypocrites, all of them.

When the Saraki led Senate rejected him twice based on the report of the DSS and his antecedents, was the Senate not blackmailed and called unprinted names.

What has changed now that has suddenly turned Magu, a poster boy to an overnight villain?

The difference is that we operate separation of powers. Legislature don't have right to sack the president's appointee. Just as president does not ask them to sack their own committee members.
Besides the Senate had ulterior motives for trying to get rid of magu. Not to mention there were two different reports on magu at the time
Re: Flashback: Nobody Can Remove Magu As EFCC Chairman Says Osinbajo by ojokolax: 9:37am On Jul 11, 2020
The context was lost even in the original headline. There's no way Prof Osinbajo could say nobody can remove Magu when he was appointed. Can an a appointee be greater than he who appointed him?
We should all stop going gung-ho over click bait headlines.
