President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier in the week sought for reconsideration of acting EFCC boss, Mr. Ibrahim Mustapha Magu. He equally cleared the Secretary to the government of the Federation, Engr. Babachir Lawal of any wrong doing.
Former Minister of Petroleum, Chief Don Etiebet, has called on the National Assembly to confirm the appointment of the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu.

In the letters sent to the Senate and which was read by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Buhari said he had thoroughly investigated those allegations as contained in the DSS report against Magu and Secretary to the government of the Federation, Engr Babachir Lawal.

“Distinguished Senators, in view of my conviction, there is need to maintain momentum of anti-graft fight, while I urge the Senate to reconsider Ibrahim Magu as substantive EFCC Chairman”, President Buhari said.

However, the senate has reportedly outlined three conditions for Ibrahim Magu to be confirmed as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

After it resumed operations on January 13, a day before their scheduled return, the scheme has been unstable.

The Lead Guider for MMM Nigeria, Chuddy Ugorji, has reportedly left the country with his wife, Amaka.

According to TheCable, the initiator of the ponzi scheme has left for the Philippines.

Last year, Chuddy had dissociated himself from the controversies trailing the crash of the Ponzi scheme.

He denied being an administrator of the MMM.

In the same vein, his wife, who had wondered why so many people, especially Nigerians pray for the scheme to crash, deleted the post from her Facebook page.

However, in December, Chuddy allegedly threw a big party to mark the end of the year thanksgiving service ‘after having made so much money from MMM.’
