The group said Mr Al-Mustapha is a brave soldier
A group, the Northern Emancipation Network, has
advised President Goodluck Jonathan to reinforce
his administration’s war against corruption by
appointing Hamza Al Mustapha, former Chief
Security Officer to late dictator, Sani Abacha, as
chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC.
The group made the call at a press conference
addressed by its Coordinator, Abdul-Azeez
Suleiman, who described Mr Al-Mustapha as a
‘brave, fearless and honest intelligence officer’
capable of taking the administration’s corruption
war to the desired level.
“While we commend Mr President’s committed war
against corruption, we advise him to reinforce the
EFCC with an equally committed and dedicated
head like Major Hamza Al Mustapha who is capable
of moving the graft war to the desired level,” he
said.
The group said corrupt politicians particularly the
“bankrupt northern political leadership” are already
jittery with the release of Mr Al Mustapha from
prison after 14 years of incarceration.
According to the group, even after going through 14
years of unjust persecution in the hands of these
people, Mr Al-Mustapha is not an officer known to
harbour vengeance and will therefore carry out the
corruption war unbiased without fear or favour.
“Driven by a burning desire to reinvent Nigeria and
it’s battalion of neglected and deprived young
people, Al-Mustapha could fearlessly confront the
embarrassing official corruption in the country and
bring it to its knees,” Mr Suleiman said.
Mr Al-Mustapha was in charge of the safety of Mr
Abacha, reputed as one of Nigeria’s most corrupt
leaders who stole the country blind, stashing away
billions of dollars in foreign accounts.
The former CSO was arrested after Mr Abacha’s
death in 1998, and was recently released after 14
years in jail. Army authorities say he remains in
service as a Major.
Under the EFCC law, the commission’s chairman
must be a serving or retired member of any
government security or law enforcement agency,
and must not be below the rank of Assistant
Commissioner of Police or equivalent.
The person should also possess not less than 15
years cognate experience. Past and serving heads
of the commission were drafted from the police.

Hmmmmm

He may do his part well. What about the judiciary? As far as I am concerned, the judiciary is the stumbling block to fighting corruption in Nigeria. Ol boy, the way judges and lawyers are making it these days, you know that judges/lawyers are allies of criminals.

I swear the members of that group are genius. I support.

This is the Gospel Truth, you are blessed my brother!

If Jonathan appoint Al-Mustapha EFCC Chairman, immediately the confirmation, half of the population of Yorubas will head straight to Seme Border fleeing to Exile.

Appiont the right hand man of the greatest looter in nigerian histroy to fight corruption. This is beyond idiotic..but if it will get him more support in the north for 2015, mr president will surely do it. A desperate man can do anything to achieve his aim.
