The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has said there are corrupt power blocs in the presidency whose “civil war” cost Ibrahim Magu his confirmation as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Speaking when he received representatives of the National Association of Muslim Law Students in his office on Thursday, Mr. Sani became another elite voice to have raised concern about the President Muhammadu Buhari’s effective control of his government where his close allies and aides engage in open rivalry and crossfire.

Two former leaders of the country, told PREMIUM TIMES, speaking on strict condition of anonymity, that Mr. Buhari had lost control of his government and should consider overhauling his administration, after the State Security Service again blocked the confirmation of Mr. Magu, brushing aside the President’s clearance in letter to the Senate in January.

The Senate rejected the re-nomination of Mr. Magu on Wednesday, after the SSS reaffirmed its position the acting EFCC chairman will constitute liability to the anti-corruption campaign of the administration because he lacks integrity.

But Mr. Sani said: “Magu is a victim of the civil war between in the President’s kitchen cabinet. It is high time the President stood his feet to stop power blocs who are desirous of undermining and subverting his efforts.”

On Thursday, Sahara Reporters published excerpts from a leaked memo Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State sent the President, saying “in blunt terms” the Buhari’s administration was not delivering on promises made to Nigerians and accusing the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation of being clueless and inexperienced.

He said Mr. Buhari had made progress in the fight against corruption to “good degree’ and also degraded Boko Haram.

“But Buhari is alone in the fight against corruption in the sense there are many persons around him who are corrupt.

“They did not declare their assets publicly like the President, Osinbajo and myself, hiding under the secrecy law,” Mr. Sani said.

An ad-hoc committee headed by Mr. Sani last year indicted the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, for breaching the country’s law in respect of ‘grass cutting” contract awarded by the Presidential Initiative on the North East, prompting the Senate to ask the President to sack and ensure prosecution of the SGF.

But the president wrote back to the Senate, clearing Mr. Lawal with claims the SGF was not given fair hearing and that the report of the committee was a minority one.
Mr. Sani then hit back at the President and accused him of bias in the fight against corruption.

Mr. Sani said, “the Eight Senate is not “rubber stamp Senate, but it is also not dagger or sword Senate.”
Advising the visiting students who asked him to talk to them on activism, Mr. Sani said the future of the country belongs to youth who should hold the leaders to account and be responsible.

He also urged action against religious extremism and ethnic tension.

Kenya and wonders is like Nigeria and corruption. Any scary news go to Kenya

Kenya again? Land of unending wonders

I pity Nigeria. Senate president is in court for wrong asset declaration but he is still the Senate president and the case died a natural death. Many past governors are under probe but they are senators. Now Ali cannot be custom boss because of uniform, magu cannot be Efcc boss because of dss

Wailing wailers come and wail on this one too

The picture

I have been thinking of this since, but couldn't find the answer for it, anybody with the right answer?

Even if I am the poorest no money can buy my happiness, if you are rude to me, you go back and meet your father

Ortom is playing with people's lives when will that law be made and be implemented. Please Mr Governor sent those terrorist out of benue if you can't give us back our guns and weapons you collected in the name of amnesty

dadexcel:
...... The answer lies in your question actually.... He was not yet the comptroller General while been screened hence no need for him to wear uniform...

so you mean customs will start wearing uniform when they become controller general? Or was he not obliged to wear uniform on that day? Or was that day A public holiday

How is this one news. Is he the father or son of APC?

dadexcel:
...... And why cant the government appointee obey a simple order given to him by the representative of people he is supposed to be serving?... What kind of witch hang is that, is he above the senate? Is it not the senate that approved his nominatiom for the job?... I see no witchunt, I only see arrogance and insensitivity on the part of the Ali guy

where was the uniform when they were screening him, or were they blind then?

Sanchez01:
He is government appointee before any other thing. As much as the Senate is useless, the CG has loosed nuts in his head. You don't address lawmakers in that manner. It shows why majority of these folks are backward. You're in the number one person in the service, how then is it so hard to proudly wear your uniform?

when they were screening him where was the uniform, is it now that they need the uniform?

Andrewkinggg:
Name anywhere in the world where a police officer don't wear uniform, an airforce Marshall don't wear uniform, an army soldier without a uniform. If you haven't found any then that man must be dressed in a customs uniform

go and change Nigeria constitution join. Any retired force personnel who is above the rank of lieutenant general has the right to take that office, the man was an airforce man above that rank, so how do you expect him to go back and wear custom uniforms

Good technology, but I am not satisfied with technology until they start downloading food

This is what is called witch hunt. why is this uniform of a thing becoming what we voted these jobless men into the Senate. Ask saraki to bring all his assets and declare

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion but if you ask me, I rather give my Tithe to the needy instead of the church.

The French Government has stated that there is no future for Biafra.

It said there is no support for those agitating for the secession of any part of Nigeria.

France Ambassador to Nigeria, Denys Gauer told the Guardian, that his home country would not in anyway work with any group agitating for the division of the nation.

He said France was working with Nigeria and supporting it as a country.

He said, “We are working with Nigeria and we are supporting it as the only country.

“This is absolutely clear and I don’t think there is any kind of future for Biafra. They are part of Nigeria and Nigeria has to remain as the only country.”

According to Gauer, France was working with the country in its fight against insurgency, adding that the fight against insurgency had brought Nigeria and France together, more than before.

“I can confirm to you that we are now very close allies to the Nigerian Armed Forces in the fight against Boko Haram.

“We have no restrictions on that, we can sell any kind of equipment to the Nigerian government without any restrictions”, he added.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it still has plans to prosecute former Governors who embezzled funds.

This was disclosed by the EFCC Zonal Head, South-South, Ishaq Salihu, in an interview on Saturday.

Salihu insisted that they would not bow to external pressure in its anti-corruption war.

“The searchlight of the EFCC is not only on former governors; its (searchlight) is also on other Nigerians who think they can take funds belonging to the country and put them in their private pockets.

“The EFCC, under Mr. Ibrahim Magu’s leadership, will never succumb to any pressure. Like we have always said, there will be no sacred cow,” he said.

Salihu also hailed the Judiciary over the jail term handed to former governor of Adamawa State, Bala Ngilari.

“The EFCC is trying its best to fight corruption but kudos should be given to the judiciary in the handling of Adamawa’s ex governor’s case.

“The fight against corruption is noble and the results can be seen. The judgment secured against the former Governor of Adamawa State is a victory for Nigeria. It shows that the judiciary is independent and courageous,” he added.

Come back and clean up the mess

Blood of jesus these politicians have poisoned nigeria. And it seems Buhari cannot care it

Welcome back. Come back and finish what you started

Hear him. ”I was involved in so many rituals, that I can’t start naming them now, I was so powerful, I went underground, inside trees that looked like a city, a lot of beautiful houses inside the tree, I had my own too. I went into a river called River of life in Ogoja, where a lot of politicians and wealthy men used to come.
I had several personalities, I could change my form whenever I wanted to, that’s why the police were busy killing innocent people, and thought they were killing Shina Rambo.The 9 herbalists that gave me that power, I became stronger than them, one day I went to their shrines, and killed all of them, so that they don’t reveal my secrets.
I had too many powers; my spiritual wife could drive any car in this world or out of it, no police vehicle, or anyone for that matter, could ever chase and catch me during an operation. She was out of this world, and when she had completed her operation, they took her away from me. I could give anything to get powers, and the elders knew, so they also gave me anything I wanted. I once beheaded hundred men, and gave them the heads fresh, they were so happy with me that they made me invincible.
No matter the kind of bullet you shot at me, it was just like pure water on my body. I could give anything to get power, but of all the things I did to get power,the one that still breaks my heart the most, is sleeping with my mother. My father is dead now, but my mother is still alive, and she lives with me she is 85 years old. Whenever I set my eyes on her, I just start crying. I can’t bear it.
