A member of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption
(PACAC), Professor Femi Odekunle has reacted to the alleged arrest of
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss, Mr Ibrahim
Magu.
In a statement issued on Monday, Odekunle said the invitation by the
Department of State Services (DSS), is a power play by blocs in the
corridor of power.
According to the PACAC, Magu was only invited for questioning regarding
some purported memo by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of
the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
He explained that the Presidential Advisory Committee perceives Malami
as the arrowhead of the bloc that is not really interested in President
Buhari’s anti-corruption fight.
Odeyemi cited the failure of the National Assembly to confirm the
appointment of the EFCC boss based on a purported security report by the
secret service as one plots by the power bloc.
While citing the AGF’s demand of certain high profile case files from
Magu which he is yet to supply, he alleged that Malami has been using
his closeness to President Muhammadu Buhari for his personal/power bloc
agenda without demonstrating any genuine commitment to the
anti-corruption fight.
Stressing further, the professor cited a few cases which includes the
formal notice of abandonment in the corruption case involving former
Minister of Niger Delta, Godwill Orubebe and a purported secret meeting
with Abdulrasheed Maina in Dubai.
The group wants the President Buhari to put an end to the power-play.
