EFCC boss Magu vows to eradicate corruption in 12 months
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission boss, Ibrahim Magu, whose appointment as the substantive chairman of the commission was rejected by the Senate, has vowed to end corruption in Nigeria in 12 months from today.
Magu made the vow on Thursday during the official opening of the Ibadan zonal office and stakeholders’ engagement session, held in Iyagaku, Ibadan.
The EFCC boss said that irrespective of challenges the commission has been facing that it has continued to wage a successful anti-graft war.
“The fight has just started and we will do it to the last. We will get them out, just give me 12 months, you will not see them again,” Magu assured.

He vowed that the anti-graft agency was going to “trace and recover all ill-gotten wealth and bring the perpetrators to book’’.

The EFCC boss is supposed to be politically neutral, inline to the fool, he sounded like a politician in his speech. Nigerians are tired of propaganda, he should get that straight into his medulla oblongata

Why won’t he sound like a politician when he’s been used as APC tool to deal with opposition party, so that only APC can remain in power for as long as they want. Magu is part of APC’s propaganda, which they are using to deceive Nigerians about the fight against corruption. Dispel him!

I so much believe in Magu’s competence and ability to eradicate corruption in less than 12 months. He has shown us he’s capable, he knows his job and can even do it better. Carry on my Oga!

Saraki can’t be used as scape goat at all, Magu won’t even dare to touch any senator because he knows what they can do to him
