Despite the controversy over the bid to remove Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the only regret the anti corruption czar has is that President Umaru Yar Adua once stopped him from accepting a top position in the United Nations secretariat on the ground that he should stay in the country to help fight corruption

Circumstance surrounding his exit
Although Ribadu is an Assistant Inspector General of Police, the EFCC Act of 2004, configured the commission to operate outside the police command structure. Section 3(2) of the Act specifically states that the chairman can only be removed by the President for under-performance or issues that border on permanent disability and mental incapacitation. If the EFCC were under the police command structure it would have been perhaps difficult for the commission to move against former police Inspector General, Tafa Balogun. The former IG was forced out in January 2005. He was arrested in March and immediately put on trial on charges of corruption. He was convicted and sentenced to six months in prison.

Ribadu once found out that a former governor and a former aid of President Obasanjo had hand in the later reversed government decision to compel EFCC seek approval from AGF before prosecuting anybody. Again, EFCC was to be under the AGF. When the nation cried blue murder, the Presidency quickly reversed this but Ribadu found out those behind it and one of the governors he had actually not concentrated on was among. He later turned his search light on him and that was the genesis of the biggest case for which many now conclude has consumed him. But it is not totally so. He is feeling good.

Why didn't he(Ribadu) concentrate on that governor, cant you see it that the governor knows that he(gov) is corrupt but Ribadu refused to come after him which means he(Ribadu) is not doing his work.
