PDP kicks as Saraki, Magu tango over tenure probe vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Magu, in a response to the claim by Saraki, made it clear that he was not above the law and could, therefore, not decide how and when he should be investigated by the anti-graft agency.
“Furthermore, the agency finds the attempt by the Senate President to tie our inquest to his International Human Rights Commission, IHRC, appointment and his approaching life out of power as misleading, knowing too well that the background to our current inquiries reaches several years back. “The distinguished Senate President has no need to fret so long as he has no skeletons in his cupboard.
The EFCC in the report had claimed: “The commission’s letter to Kwara State Government House, which sought an inquest into Saraki’s earnings as the state governor, from 2003 to 2011 was dated Friday, April 26, predating his announcement as IHRC ambassador at large which came on Sunday, April 28, with two clear days.
Saraki insisted that the new investigation into his activities as governor of Kwara State was a repeat performance, adding that EFCC was fishing for evidence that they did not get in the past investigations, which spanned almost nine years. ”While we do not wish to obstruct EFCC in the performance of its tasks. We reiterate our position that the commission should be professional, ethical, transparent and consistent.
