The losers are President Buhari, whose life legacy, would stand or fail on the anti-corruption war, and the grieving Nigerians, who have suffered and would continue to suffer the debilitating impact of corruption, in our wasting country.
With the media feasting on the accusations and counter-accusations against those that ordinarily should be the arrowheads of the war against corruption in President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, one only hopes that the much hoped for, war against corruption, has not been won and lost.
While this column has its sympathy for the success of the war against corruption, it considers the present haze on the integrity of Magu and Malami as major dents on the war against corruption. So the earlier the integrity status of the suspended EFCC czar, Magu, and serving AGF, Malami, is determined and publicly disclosed by President Buhari himself, the higher the chance of resuscitating the war on corruption.
The truth be told, with the allegations of corruption levelled against Malami by persons recruited by the president to fight corruption, the allegations would simply not go away, without an examination by an eminent panel, such as that now quizzing Magu, in the presidential villa.
So, the AGF is clearly one of the most important ministers in a presidential system of government, and for a government which made anti-corruption its cardinal objective, should be the most important official. President Buhari has never hidden his disdain for corrupt practices, whether as a military president or as a civilian and that maybe why he chose Abubakar Malami, SAN, reputedly his lawyer, before he became the president.
