Magu’s detractors out to reverse gains of anti-corruption war — Nwanyanwu vanguardnews
Those bent on having Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC removed from office are enemies of the Nigerian state desirous of seeing the fight against corruption disrupted, national chairman of the Zenith Labour Party ZLP, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu has said.
“I have heard so many allegations against the EFCC boss, but he who asserts must prove. One of the things they raised was that he has disposed of properties but I am telling you now on my honour and integrity that Magu has not sold one property. The things EFCC sold were things seized before his assumption of office-trucks. In Port Harcourt, for instance, the Federal Ministry of Works was called to assess it after which they gave ridiculous prices and later sold them.
According to him, “there was an instance where he was accused of under-disclosure of an amount and when they got to the bank, they got higher than that. If they had gotten lower than that, then it would have raised questions. “The last time was about where he lived and the amount of money used to furnish it; those things got to the President. The President laughed over it. So this is corruption fighting back. No more, no less. The truth is that those who have been investigated and are due for courts are ready now to take their own pound of flesh and we know them. They are the ones putting these monies together to influence government functionaries. But they can’t prove it.
“The President knows that this fight against corruption is the only thing going for his government and they want to truncate it. I will advise the President to call Magu to sit with him one on one. He should ask Magu the whereabouts of all these monies scattered in the banks all over the world, running into hundreds of billions of naira including funds in foreign currencies. These people will go to the people that will help them.
