Chief Olabode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has faulted the composition of a Presidential panel set up to investigate Ibrahim Magu, embattled Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent, George said Justice Ayo Salami, a former President of the Court of Appeal is unfit to chair the panel based on his antecedents.

George, the Atona Oodua of Yorubaland also said he will wait for the outcome of the investigation before making a statement on Magu’s travails.

“On the panel set up to investigate Magu headed by Justice Ayo Salami, I believe he is not fit to head that panel”.

“There are more qualified retired justices with integrity who can be entrusted with that responsibility by the Presidency”

“We know Justice Salami’s antecedents and I say he who must come to equity must come with clean hands”.

Honestly speaking, Ayo Salami shouldn't be the one in charge of the panel probing magu considering his antecedents.

There are better justices with proven integrity, I wonder why the choice of Ayo Salami for an administration touting anti corruption.

Ayo Salami should immediately recuse himself from that panel.

The Presidency says the ongoing interrogation of the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, is to clear him of weighty allegations leveled against him.
A presidency source, who preferred not to be named, told State House correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, July 7; that the probe of Magu was an affirmation that nobody under “the present administration is above scrutiny’’.

The source, who could neither confirm nor deny the suspension of Magu as reported by traditional and social media outfits; maintained that the investigation of the EFCC boss was to reinforce the Buhari administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

He affirmed that the holder of an elevated office such as the chairman of the EFCC must be above suspicion.

According to the source, the Buhari administration would not prejudge anyone because it can be counted on to uphold justice and fairness.

The source said: “The panel investigating allegations against the Acting EFCC Chairman had been sitting for some weeks now.

“In consonance with the principle of fairness and justice; it was needful that the Acting Chairman be given the opportunity to respond to the allegations, which are weighty in nature.

“Under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, nobody is above scrutiny. The investigation is to reinforce transparency and accountability, rather than to vitiate it.

“Accountability for our actions or inactions is an inalienable part of democracy. In such an elevated position as that of EFCC Chairman, the holder of the position must be above suspicion.

“There’s no prejudgment — absolutely none. The Buhari administration can be counted on to uphold fairness and justice at all times.”

A presidency source had earlier confirmed that Magu was on Tuesday afternoon suspended from office; following the ongoing investigation by the presidential panel, headed by retired Justice Ayo Salami.

Buhari and his saints are Thieves!

I believe Bode George is right man to have headed that panel. Not only because his name sounds like Judge but because of his experience in fraud related matters as a former chairman of Nigeria port authority.

Chief Olabode George should head the panel then

.

This week is going to be all about Ibrahim Magu, next thread will be 12 things you don’t know about Ibrahim Magu or Ibrahim Magu’s last tweet before he was arrested blah blah blah

We all know it is not a new thing in Nigeria, that’s our way. Sooner than later, the case will be bygones. The god of ganduje dollars will intervene and everything will disappear into the air, the god of 36 million jamb office money will come down to his rescue and it shall be forgotten. Let’s not be distracted, we all know and are sure the fight and tactics are borne of political disagreement and war between two parties. I read someone said “People who hold an elevated office like the EFCC chairman should be above suspicion”Like wtf? Oh I forgot we are in Nigeria.
Take these same set of greedy old reckless fools serious at your own risk. I used to think Nigeria will be better someday but no thanks to corona who enforced lockdown on every nation of the world. But despite the odd, countries ruled with government who prioritize their citizens welfare and lives provided incentives, relief materials and palliatives while Nigerian government till date has no account as to what they use monies, materials and other items donated to them even by citizens. We all pretend those things that matter counts less while we capitalize and dwell on the minor. I just hope my prayers are answered and I find my way outta this devil workshop we call Nation.
I want to believe no one takes Nigerian government serious anymore, we lives and strive for ourselves and that’s how it has been with these set of r£tard£d and selfish leaders we have.
Bunch of jokers....
Birds of a feather....
Same hole - Different sh!ts.

Drama unfolding

They are preparing ground for their eventual target before 2023 so that it will not look like witch hunting

I don't agree...

valentineuwakwe:

YOU should think twice before making comments online
Mr uwakwe, so your people won't be disappointed in you on a daily basis.
Make una dey see jam talk o!

So Magu you have been castigating and abusing every day since he has been the head of EFCC is now someone you are crying for SUDDENLY!
Crying so hard so he won't be humilated!!
Hehehehe

What a shame from an hypocrite!!
Same people that will wail for 10 years if this was swept under the carpet.
Nothing you go ever do for this world wey some frustrated peeps no go talk!
SHAME on all hypocrites!!

ok

Is ok Daddy wa, please came and head the panel sir. Mr saint.

Wonders are un-endable.

In a sane country, someone like Bode George (a convicted thief) should have been hiding his face and name in shame.
But in Nigeria, what do you get? They are the elder statesmen who olodo journalists would grant audience and interview on national issues.

You can imagine someone who's talking about antecedents.

This country matter funny pass comedy central.

Funny, opposition will always be opposition. Whether logical or not they will always stand against the government. Just watch how they will all throw their weight behind Magu.

Why do this man always spew rubbish? . APC govt is interrogating APC appointed and you're defending the accused. Ayo Salami was unjustly suspended by Jonathan's govt due to unsubstantiated allegations. If another govt finds him worthy and suitable to carry out national assignment, so be it.

In a sane country, only stupid people will say that a person that has been cleared off (found not guilty) of corruption charges by Supreme Court is a convicted thief.
He was charged for contract splitting.
As of when he was a NPA chairman, there was not like a was against or for contract splitting.
So, you was charged in retroactive.
Therefore, Supreme Court wasted no time to quash his earlier conviction.
