Where at no where to be found ,therefore if your principal had compliment Magu"s effort through the DSS by not allowed that unsolicited report it could have been better. Now when ,even from the top to toe no one is excepted ,my desire is to sweep every dammed thing to Daura comes next Feb..

Menh carding is the best time that happened to my life.Grateful

what is carding?

OfficialAwol:
He's going nowhere? No need, because soon both you, Buhari and your stop Magu, who is your vendetta boy, will be kicked out.

You are simply singing the songs of the looters...

Yeye goofment!
Efcc has nothing to do with strong individuals but building a strong institution.
Why hold on to one man so dearly like without him the agency would crumble.
Indeed magu must be part of the cabal holding this government back because I dont see why we cannot do away with him to make the country move forward.
Because of magu so many confirmations are still pending in the senate and the government seems adamant in clearing this back log.
Make magu kill una for presidency there!
Useless fellows

kenodrill:
Nigeria's anti-corruption war is doom to crumble should magu seize been the head of the EFCC.only the corrupt don't like this man!

Magu is still the EFCC chief, yet Nigeria has backslided in the TI- CPI. So what are you talking about?

AkupeMBANO:
me thinks osibanjo usually read from a piece of paper whenever he speaks. imagine what he rushed out to comment on, Magu?? of all The whole issues going on in this country, Afonja VP is only interested in Wether Magu is walking into the lagoon or not. just imagine?

The Afonja VP should have been dishing out hate like your forefathers did that led to 2 million of your kinsmen perishing for a useless cause ba ?

By your statement, Magu is the only man that can do the job in Nigeria. Instead of removing him, we should just close EFCC because no other Nigerian can fit in. Note that the main opposition to Magu is from the DSS, an organ under the presidency, who wrote a damning report against him. I am sure that if you were a senator, you wont see such a report, which the senate requests for before clearing nominies and ignore it. In a nutshell, I think there is even no need for the senate to request for such clearance anymore since it is of no consequence.

. Carding still sure ?

If Magu is a patriot, he should resign that post in the bigger interest of the country. But I'm sure he's afraid of going to jail for corrupt practices himself, hence he's holding on to the post.

This won't end well for him, especially after this government. Best for him to resign now and work at saving himself with using current connection.

You can as well hook me up with a job since you know am actively looking for one. So monitoring spirits dey Nairaland :

Are you in Lagos? If yes, send ur email ad

I get surprised by Osinbajo. At times positions make people unpredictable. All these go to show that the only corrupt people are those not in their camp and that explains why Nigeria's score by Transparency International is very low inspite of the efforts they are making. Imagine Osinbajo saying Magu cannot be removed because he is the most senior personnel in EFCC. Was he not deployed from the police? can he not be sent back?

PointB:
Magu has not committed any offence - Osibanjo
Abacha never stole - Buhari

A trend?


Can corruption fight corruption? Shouldn't he who come to equity come with clean hands, eh Mr. Osibanjo?


Excerpts from DSS Report on Magu!

August 2008 , following a search at his (Magu's) residence during the tenure of Farida WAZIRI (AIG/Rtd) as the commission’s chairman, some sensitive EFCC documents which were not supposed to be at his disposal were discovered. He was subsequently redeployed to the police after days of detention and later suspended from the Force.

In December 2010 , the Police Service Commission found Magu guilty of “Action prejudicial to state security, withholding of EFCC files, sabotage, unauthorised removal of EFCC files and acts unbecoming of a Police officer,” and awarded him severe reprimand as punishment.

“4. Notwithstanding, sequel to the appointment of Ibrahim Lamorde as Chairman of the EFCC in 2011, he made the return of Magu to the EFCC a top priority. Both men had worked together at the commission when Lamorde served as Head of Operations of the agency. Magu remained a top official of the commission until he was appointed to succeed Lamorde. “

5. Magu is currently occupying a residence rented for N40m, at N20m per annum. This accommodation was not paid for from the commission’s finances but by one Umar Mohammed (Air Commodore/Rtd), a questionable businessman and ally of subject who has subsequently been arrested by this service. For the furnishing of the residence, Mohammed enlisted the Federal Capital Development Authority to award a contract to Africa Energy, a company owned by the same Mohammed to lavishly furnish the residence at the cost of N43m.

and it concluded...

“14. In the light of the foregoing, Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption drive of the present administration.”

15. Accept the assurances of the esteemed regards of the DGSS, please.

How can the senate overlook this report and confirm such individual? Is that how low we want to sink?

I feel vindicated by his position/utterance. I never for once believe in the camouflage he wore enroute the Vice Presidency. The man couldn't have been in corridor of power this long, work extensively with/for Tinubu and not know how to serve his interest and that of his paymasters.

Osibanjo is just being true to type, nothing out of character here.

There's absolutely no dispute to the fact that magu is not the only one that can boss the anti-corruption committee.the question we should ask ourselves is... 'why are the likes of saraki,dino n other corrupt oriented bigots after magu? Yes I understood there's a report from DSS which question his integrity ,but till date there has not been any concrete facts n evidence to ascertain those claims...hence magu is not guilty of all allegations since his not been proven guilty by any competent court of jurisdiction. So... He(magu)remains the only credible and substantial man to head the commission.

Totally trusted & Guaranteed cause no chance of loosen...view details,WhatsApp/call

Mr VP sir, why blaming the Senate?

The Senate only base her decision on the recommendation of the report of DSS which is part of your government.

All Progressives Confusion Party should fix their house and stop disturbing us with their record breaking show of shame.

Those who are accusing and even insulting the Senate should remember that, Magu's rejection by the Senate was based on two damning reports that emanated from the Presidency.

they just want to kill all the strong institutions in this country. imagine the executive challenging the power of screening by the Senate? were have we gone wrong? if Buhari and his goonz succeeds in rubbishing all the strong institutions like judiciary, legislature, CBN etc. what will be left of this country when he goes back to his cows in daura? Nigeria is currently 50years backwards.

Nice write up, but in my opinion, I believe the legislative arm of government and the executive arm of government are doing a fantastic job, and I though the legislators might be selfish in their duties. Both parties are putting the constitution to test, checks and balance is the beauty of democracy. I am happy they are both checking each other, imagine during the past administrations when the legislative arm are the rubber stamp of the executive, no one questions the authority of the other, one part will just forward a huge ridiculous sum to the other and it will be approved before you know it. You will agree with me that the Senate is the retirement house of ex-governors and most of them have pending cases with EFCC, that's the reason why they want Magu out so they can negotiate their freedom with who ever the president push forward for screening for the job. They agreed with the president at the party level before election that they will assist him with the fight against corruption with the hope that they will be exempted but when they got into office they noticed that they are also been investigated, that was why they pitched tent with their boss in the game (Saraki) to make sure the president's anti corruption campaign will not succeed. They also know they are not likely to get the party's ticket to go with the president in the next election that's why they are fighting dirty just to ridicule the executive and probably decamp to another available party and present themselves to Nigerians as the good ones. I am enjoying their fight. It's really interesting.

I appreciate your response and the fact that you did not use a foul language like most folks do here once you have a contrary view to theirs. The point some of us try to make is that what we need in this country are strong institutions and not individuals. When the institutions are strong then it doesnt matter who the individuals are. As I make this comment, the prime minister of Israel is being investigated by the police on allegations of corruption because they have strong institutions. Can Nigeria police or EFCC or ICPC open investigation against a Nigerian president? No. In the public service, when you have such allegations like the ones raised by the DSS especially the one where he was accused of staying in an apartment rented for 20 million annually and paid for by a man standing trial for corruption, what happens is to raise a panel to try the person like the panel that tried Maina and not for the government to be the ones defending him. I am sure you are aware that was how Babachua Lawal, the former SGF was given a clearance before they eventually agreed he had a case to answer.

Senate of Nigeria say NO. You say yes, we will know who owns the land.

That part got me laughing, seriously. I knew you meant to say "in the bigger interests of the thieves at the national assembly".

Just because he wouldn't take decisions or support decisions which you and your likes on the other side of the fence would have preferred? Is okayyyyyyy.

That's a good one from the presidency. Those clamouring for his sack are the corrupt politicians trying to cover up their misdeeds. They have tested him with all sorts and realized this man his bent on exposing them and their loots.

God bless PMB
God bless PYO
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Don't be clever by half.

Isn't it the president who will send nomination for replacement? Is Magu the only person the presidency can find suitable for job? Aren't there other equally (or more) capable men and women?
