This Is Why The Senate rejected Me- Magu
Ibrahim Magu, EFCC Acting Chairman
Ibrahim Magu, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission has stated that the reason why the Senate refused to confirm him as the Chairman of the Commission is because he has shown dedication and Zeal in the dispensation of his duty as the Acting Chairman of the commission.
According to Daily Post, the Upper Chambers have refused to confirm Magu as the substantive chairman of the anti-graft agency on two different occasions, citing a report of the Department of State Services (DSS) which indicted him.
Speaking on Question Time, a programme on Channels Television, Magu insisted he is not bothered by the delay in his confirmation.
“I don’t think it (non-confirmation) has given the public a cause for concern. I think it is a lot of encouragement. The fact that I am not confirmed shows I am working. Really.
“In the anti-corruption environment, if they rush to confirm you, it means you are not doing your work properly,” Magu said.
“No problem. Maybe the others are happy. Because a number of the people we are investigating are also in the national assembly.
“I cannot be distracted with those things. Nobody can purchase me, I cannot compromise what I am doing.” He said.
