A senate of anything is possible

BUSINESSARENAA:


Get your facts rights, NUHU RIBADU is the most effective EFCC boss.

Till date he is still being given awards by international organizations.

Most we use the International community as a yardstick for everything we do?

Nigerians knows he was effective stop calling the international community in every given opportunity you've it's irritating, people you hold to high esteem don't value you one bit please stop.

DrNueLpureHoney:
Fingers crossed..But truth be told...dz Magu of a man seems to be doing a great work lately as EFCC is bent on making the country crime-free.

I wish him all the best

. Yea I will agree with u that he has been trying but I believe if truly he is sincerely fighting corruption he should start with our politicians that's what other countries do. You don't clean a house from the outside.

Can we compare their arrests, convictions , recoveries?

I know anything associated with this government for you can never be the best.

Bolustical:
Good will always prevail evil, truth shall always outlast lies.

Where is Saraki today? Daura nko? He has been sent to oblivion.

The Magu he and Daura disgraced will be confirmed by this Senate and I trust Magu, he'll deal with them.

Kudos to the President.

Correct!

Finally the man go receive his appointment letter. After 6yrs as acting chairman. But wait oooooo so this man will be there for 8yrs?

GavelSlam:
He's done a great job.

Most effective EFCC chairman ever.

the guy is not effective jare.efcc was gutted and de professionalised during the gej and yardua years andis yet to recover. look at the way the fbi hashandled invictus and co. they got their case in order, then they did the arrests. efcc on the other hand, keep on handling all these high profle cases like lazy nigerian civil servants, leaving loopholes everywhere and hoping for success in the court of public opionion

naira marleys case may as well be dead, with the way he and his cohort are doing soapy dance upandan

the yahoo boy arrests are not much better, as these jokers do six months and probably do not surrender all their loot.

Rubber stamp senate will expeditiously confirm him. Take a bow and go senate!

Has the FBI gotten a conviction?

You guys just hate yourselves.

nony43:
As far as Magi was once a police man in Nigeria, a bit of corruption runs in him, and that is what Dss is seeing that most of us are not seeing

The law establishing EFCC says a Policeman must head. So will you go and bring one from Ghana?

The young shall grow

While ignoring corruption right under his nose...... Indeed....

Let’s see our rubber stamp Senate confirm immediately

Must the head of EFCC be a northerner?

Please, can't any other person do the job except Magu? He has done his part in the last four years I think he has tried let another person try his best.

This is not good for our democracy. It will clearly confirm rubber stamp of the 9th Senate. Remember a security agency of federal government petitioned against him

SMSguru:
I don't think Magu is clean if the DSS is against his appointment.

Corruption cannot fight corruption neither can insecurity fight insecurity.

Why is the presidency hell-bent on making him the EFCC boss by all means.

Its the cabal that is fighting using DSS. Magu does not belong.

Tell me any that is clean? Magu to some extent is cleaner than most of them

what hatred?

where have all the high profile arrests made by efcc gone?

you don't see that the efcc is being run like the nigerian police - that they are now too lazy to properly build their cases, and that that is why lawyers are able to run rings around them?

naira marley is a classic case. they arrested him, told all of us about things found on his laptop, released him on bail, and the guy has been running round making a mockery of them ever since.

is that the hallmark of a professional organisation? they basically told everyone their strategy before their case had been completed. i am sure one year from now naira marley will still be enjoying their free publicity. for all you, they actually did jump the gun and rush to court/press with an incomplete case.

this is not about self hate. it is about frustration.

you think invictus is going anywhere? he is done.

BoboKush:
Rubber stamp will approve any thing

You can say that again.

Stop the rubbish of an epistle.

All the Yahoo boys you see daily on Nairaland being convicted of various fraud-related offences would tell you otherwise.

Naira Marley is one of a thousand and not even the FBI has a 100% conviction rate.

*Confirmation Will Give Magu Greater Confidence — Sagay
*9th Senate A Rubber Stamp, Not Surprised — Odumakin

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

President Muhammadu Buhari may re-present Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to the Senate for confirmation as the substantive chairman of the anti-graft agency, Daily Independent has gathered.

A presidency source who does not want his name in print disclosed this to our correspondent on Thursday.
Efforts by President Buhari to get Magu confirmed by the 8th Senate led by Bukola Saraki, immediate past Senate President, were rebuffed by the lawmakers who rejected him twice, citing reports written against him by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Magu took charge of the EFCC in an acting capacity following the expiration of the tenure of his former boss, Ibrahim Lamorde, in November 2015.
He had presided over the affairs of the commission for eight months before Vice President Yemi Osinbajo made the nomination to the Senate on July 22, 2016, when he (Osinbajo) was acting president.
However, the Senate, on December 15, 2016, declined to confirm Magu based on a DSS status report which discredited his capability to carry out his duties creditably. The DSS also accused Magu of being corrupt, an accusation the acting EFCC boss queried.
Determined to get Magu confirmed, President Buhari again presented Magu before the Senate in March 2017 but he was rejected by the majority of the senators present at the plenary after it was put to a vote.
His rejection followed the receipt of another letter from the DSS which stated that he (Magu) would be “a liability to the anti-corruption fight of the present administration” if confirmed.
When asked to replace Magu with another qualified candidate, Osinbajo had said Magu would not be replaced. He said the president did not find the security report prepared by the DSS, which was the basis of his rejection, a strong reason to replace Magu.
Speaking with our correspondent on Wednesday, our source said with a new National Assembly which had pledged total support for the president in place and resolved to work for the interest of Nigerians, President Buhari might soon re-present Magu before the Ahmad Lawan-led Senate.
“In order to show his commitment to the anti-corruption war which is one of the three cardinal programmes of his administration, President Buhari may soon re-present Magu to the 9th Senate.
“The 8th Senate under Saraki refused to confirm him for reasons best known to them even when the president gave him a clean bill of health.
“But I believe the president will soon forward his name to the Senate and I believe there won’t be any issue this time around,” the source said.
Speaking with Daily Independent, Prof. Itse Sagay, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), said it would be a big plus for the war against corruption if the president forwarded Magu’s name to the Senate for confirmation.
“Certainly, the president can re-present him so that the Senate can approve him for a substantive capacity rather than continuing in acting capacity.
“That will give Magu greater confidence because he is already doing very well. Yes, he can re-present his name for confirmation,” he said.
However, Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenfere, said with a rubber stamp Senate, any nominee sent by President Buhari, even if he were a convicted criminal, would just be asked to take a bow and go.
“We already have a rubber stamp National Assembly. Even if the president sends the name of a notorious convicted armed robber to this Senate for confirmation as EFCC chairman, they will just say yes, sir, and ask the person to bow and go.
“If Lawrence Anini resurrected today and the president says, ‘I nominate Lawrence Anini as the chairman of EFCC’, this Senate would just say, ‘bow and go’. It is a rubber stamp Senate, so anything goes,” he said.

Re-nominating this man for senate confirmation is like turning the Efcc into a personal project.

THE EFCC IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE BUILT AROUND ONE MAN. A kind of a one man show.

At the state level there is no evidence of Efcc functional at the state level as far as the state government offices is concerned.

EVERYTHING IS JUST FEDERAL ! FEDERAL !

How can things work in Nigeria.

Efcc is supposed to be integrated to the state and the local government which is the grassroot level.

At least kids at schooling level will understand the ongoing war in eradicating corruption vices in Nigeria.

Does it mean that there is no other person that can fit into that position in the whole of this big country.

What happens by the time President Muhammadu Buhari 's four year tenure ends.

yes. i am sure a 6 month jail term and N200,000 fine is a serious deterrent. that is the risk involved in fraud in nigeria. though that issue is more of the law than efcc to be honest - though we have not heard them advocating for stiffer sentences

when magu secures the conviction of a big fish, i will be impressed. these yahoo boys are what project managers call easy wins. something to manage stakeholder perceptions while the big deals are going down.

look at diezani. the woman has been chilling in uk for the last four years. all efcc is doing is publicized seizures of jewellery. is it that hard to build a case against her and get her extradited?

If you think Magu will be confirmed unopposed this time around, let me see your hands

The length of conviction is not in the remit of the EFCC, lawmakers and the judiciary should be at its forefront.

By the way how long can you last in a Nigerian prison?
