Reasons why Ibrahim Magu was rejected by the Senate

The reason why the senate rejected theĀ  Acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu can not be far fetched. The Senate stated having doubts in their mind when Magu said that he does not know how much the commission under him has recovered from national looters so far. Mr. Magu said this while briefing and responding to questions from Senators during his screening on Wednesday.
Recall that the Senate again rejected to confirm Magu for the second time as the substantive Chairman of the anti-graft agency. This is equally sequel to another letter from the Department of State Services, DSS, to the Senate saying Mr. Magu is unfit to head the anti-graft agency.
The majority of the Senators, in a popular vote, rejected Magu as EFCCā€™s boss. Magu However, while responding to questions from the Senators during the screening, Mr. Magu said, ā€œit is difficult to give report on how much has been recovered from fight against corruption.
ā€This was when Sen. Duro Faseyi asked, ā€œHow much funds has been recovered since you took charge of the commission.ā€ Magu simply said, ā€œIt is very difficult for me to say.ā€ Also, Magu was asked why @cenbank Gov who released money to Dasuki is not being investigated by the commission.
Senator Sen Isah Misau who asked the earlier question also asked again, ā€œis it body language of President Muhammadu Buhari that EFCC uses to fight corruption since people close to the President are not being probed?ā€
The Senator asked again, ā€œDasuki took money illegally and not a single person from the CBN has been investigated or prosecuted so far?ā€ ā€œWhat is the concept of Finical crime as stipulated in the @officialEFCC act?ā€
In his response, Magu said no body language in the fight against corruption. He said the commitment of President Buhari to the fight against corruption is however not in doubt.
EFCC has invited all who needs to be invited. He said, once we can remove corruption in Nigeria, everything will be okay. He said for instance, the former Petroleum Minister, Deizina Alison Madueke ran away to London with her clique that perpetuated the crime to defraud Nigeria.
He said that they are on the run but he will get them. Mr. Magu also said that EFCC does not fight corruption alone but that he is aware the Senate fights corruption as well.

However, Magu said he will not be surprised if whitlseblowers are to take the security agents to his house because he now has a big house.
