The
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has insisted that the suspended acting Chairman
of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu, must be
made to answer for alleged corruption and violation of rules.
In
a statement issued by Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, its National Publicity Secretary,
in Abuja, the PDP said that Magu must
also answer for allegations of victimization of Nigerians and stealing of
recovered funds for which he has been suspended.
“There
are insinuations in the public space that the indicted EFCC boss was also
harassing certain judges to get a conviction on cases.
“Similarly,
there are several cases of officers and ranks of the commission whose
employment in the service were unjustly suspended or terminated,” Ologbondiyan
alleges.
“The PDP also wants an investigation into the
alleged connection between the indicted EFCC boss and certain judges handling
EFCC cases.
“What
Nigerians expect at this time is for the Federal Government to ensure Magu’s
prosecution in court.
“Nigerians
expect the government to take necessary and decisive steps to restore the integrity
of the EFCC.
“This
should be done by ensuring that Magu’s replacement as EFCC Chairman is
thoroughly screened to avoid a similar development in the future.
