And this time he'll be confirmed as EFCC chair. He who laugh last, laughs best; the joke is on Saraki and his co-travellers.

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.

I dey tells you my brother... There is something they don't want us to know

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

Doing a good job and Akpabio is a Minister? Let us continue with this sycophancy, the results are showing already (social unrest)

. Yea! They are all hiding something. I have some questions, How do expect this criminals we have as politicians to endorse a man trying to expose them? How do u expect magu to expose the people that endorsed him for the office? Honestly I laugh when I hear people say the EFCC is an independent body. Let's think deep a little bit.... Had it been the FBI did not come for evictus will the EFCC fish him out or have the time to investigate him and his partners? Why is because these guys used their money to buy godfathers in government. If they truly want to make the EFCC an independent body like they say let them allow the masses vote or appoint a neutral man into that office and watch tables shake.

That's just the point.... They don't want to be probed... But they will surely be brought to book real soon

. My point exactly! Why should a man who has been indicted of corruption hold a public office? Honestly this is why the world don't take Nigeria seriously. I hate cybercrime but the EFCC should focus on the big fish and watch the little ones disappear

*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.

President Cyril Ramaphosa makes mistake on live TV while addressing xenophobic attacks (video)



A video of the moment President Cyril Ramaphosa made a mistake while addressing South Africans on gender based violence crisis and xenophobic attacks witnessed in the country has gone viral on social media, and has been described as an embarrassing and epic fall.

The South African President started off his address by reading from a teleprompter at the SABC’s parliamentary studios.

However a couple of seconds in, Ramaphosa made a mistake which he flagged on Live TV by saying: “Let’s start again. I made a mistake”.

Following the backlash that ensued after the video was leaked, SABC has apologised to President Cyril Ramaphosa for flighting the pre-recorded message that included a re-take of his address to the nation on Thursday evening.

The public broadcaster wishes to apologise to the president of the republic and the nation for any embarrassment caused in this unfortunate breach of the news production process,” SABC spokesperson Vuyo Mthembu said in a statement.

“The SABC takes this issue seriously and can assure the president and the public that due process will be followed and appropriate action taken.”

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

What of Daura that was the head of DSS then? where is he now and how clean is he from corruption?

Hmmmm! God help us all

He's done a great job.

Most effective EFCC chairman ever.






Come, which great job?
Oh! I forgot, fighting opposition elements while the APC goons are left off the hook.
He is fighting corruption with Timpreye, Akpabio, Babachir e.t.c.
What a wonderful work. If i were to be Buhari, there is no need telling him to appear before the senate, just call Lawan then he and his boys will approve him in absentia. Shikena.

Fighting them is better so that PDP can also appoint there own to fight APC. it is better that way than not fighting them at all .

Congratulations to him in advance ✌️

In all fairness and without any form of prejudices, Magu deserves a substantial chairman of EFCC

To you, but to many people, the man has been bias in his dealings
