The Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has not issued an official statement on acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, its Chairman Prof Itse Sagay (SAN) said on Tuesday.

He said the statement issued on Monday by a member, Prof Femi Odekunle, was his personal opinion and does not represent PACAC's position.

Odekunle's statement read: “This is a preliminary reaction of PACAC to the alleged ‘arrest’ of Magu...”

He accused Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami (SAN) of lacking commitment to the anti-graft war and being the arrowhead of power blocs that want Magu out.

Odekunle said Malami’s earlier memo calling for Magu’s removal and the EFCC's boss' invitation to appear before a probe panel over allegations of abuse of office “seem an outcome of power-play by power blocs in the corridors of power in which Malami appears to be an arrow-head or major agent”.

But Sagay, in a statement by PACAC Communications Officer Aghogho Agbahor, said Odekunle spoke for himself.

“The attention of the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has been drawn to a statement circulating in the media space credited to one of its members Prof Femi Odekunle.

“The press release is the personal opinion of the member under whose name it was released and not that of the committee.

“If the committee consistent with its mandate has any view on the matter, it will be channelled to the President and not to the media.”

Forget Grammer Sir, corruption has always been the currency of this present government. It's just that the greatest deception you suffer from is that you feel your opinion matters to Nigerians. Well, while you have a right to your opinion, Nigerians have a right to ignore it.

The game is getting more interesting, sadly the masses are paying for this high cost "Cinema" tickets.

So between Saraki and PMB, who was right about Magu? I am also interested in the opinion of Prof. Sagay who has been defending Magu.

The Senate under the leadership if Saraki refused to confirm Magu because of damning reports of corruption against the EFCC boss.

Saraki was called names and harassed by the presidency and misguided APC supporters but he stood his grounds and refused to be bullied into confirming Magu. With the way they accused Saraki of corruption, one would have thought that by now Magu would have come up with massive evidence to jail Saraki.
It is rather sad that most Nigerians are gullible and are also quick to believe the propaganda from politicians.

I am not saying Saraki is a saint but like I mentioned in my earlier post, he was the most courageous and intelligent Senate President in the history of Nigeria.
During his tenure, Saraki boldly resisted all the anti-people policies that Lawan and his rubber stamp gangs are tolerating today.

I gave up on PMB, the day he raised up the hand of a governor who was caught on camera stuffing dollars into his babaringa. It is also a comedy of errors that the same man that APC government is prosecuting for corruption is now the APC flag bearer for Edo state governorship election! And guess who is the chairman of Edo state APC governorship campaign commuter: The dollar stuffing Gandollar!

Where is Buhari Integrity?
