EFCC Acting Chairman |
Magu was rejected the second time on the premises of a failed integrity test that was carried out by the Department of State Service. I wasn't that surprised,infact I would have been more surprised if he had been cleared by the Bukola Saraki led National Assembly.The same Bukola Saraki that is being tried for allegations bordering on several corruption cases with the recent one being an allegation of a #5Billion paris funds. Here are some points for the takings.
1) The DSS which shouldn't in any case act without the consent of the Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces filed a report on a nominee of the president and he is not even aware of the filth as narrated by the DSS about Magu. This only buttress the fact that there is operational inefficiency within the presidency and it stinks. Why can't the DSS made their report on Magu known to the president or was it the president that decided to handle the reports in a carefree manner? the answer is confined to the presidency. But one disgraceful fact is that the Presidency just achieved a low by displaying there dirty linen in the public domain and thereby shooting themselves in the foot.
2)The NASS premised his rejection on the DSS report,DSS as we know is an appendage of the Executive,did the NASS at any point ever setup an adhoc commitee at their level to investigate the report being used between his first screening and the second screening. It has been affirmed that he was rejected on both ocassions because of the same report.
3) Now to the conspiracy theory even if the presidency cleared Magu, and resend his name 100times,this NASS as constituted will still reject him because he apppears a man that is not ready to negotiate with corruption and its promoters. Magu is the man sitting on top of an investigation that includes some ex-governors. With most of them at the screening,passing Magu would have been like playing "Penalty to Throwing" in Small Doctor's words.
The believe is that Magu is being used as a pawn in a massive power contest going on and it is sad that the presidency 'negligently" actually fell for it. I want to say this categorically I am not a Magu apologist,neither am I a fan of this useless, good-for-nothing 8th Assembly.
They have displayed down the years that a rotten orange is more useful than them when it comes to handling issues of national interest,when the game is being served to fuel their personal interest,that is when the senate marksman-Dino Melaye will lead his brigand in shooting down anything that comes in between.
Dino's case is like that of a tortoise that made use of his hanky-panky attribute to achieve his aim,the tortoise later turns his back on his benefactors forgetting that what goes around surely comes back around. In the end it is that same achievement that consumed him and render the tortoise helpless. Let Dino continue on his riddance, I hope he enjoys what comes after.
However, in Mike Ozekhome's constitution,the president cannot resend Magu's name and Magu cannot even continue in acting capacity,he is a typical victim of Magu,so I wasn't even surprised because no thief will want to be caught pants down.
According to sources, the SP is having a candidate for the post of the EFCC,who is allegedly a Yoruba Man, so that he can cow him to do his bidding.
My advice to President Buhari is that the polity is getting dirty,all he needs to do is to wear Gloves and get it dirty also,and in the end his hand would be clean.
Mr President should just nominate a more ruthless person without the influence of the Kwarrupt people to whip them into line.
