I WILL PROBE TINUBU ON ONE CONDITION – MAGU REVEALS REASON
I WILL
PROBE TINUBU ON ONE CONDITION – MAGU REVEALS REASON
Trending report as acting Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, found himself in an awkward
position on Monday, November 12, 2018, when a journalist asked him about
corruption allegations often aimed at APC national leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Magu was
giving a scorecard of his agency’s work at a press conference which held at the
EFCC headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
Afterward,
journalists assailed the anti-corruption czar with questions.
“When would Magu probe Tinubu?”
‘When will Magu probe Tinubu who had claimed, ahead of the Osun governorship
election, that he was richer than the entire Southwest state?’, one journalist
inquired.
Tinubu
belongs to the president’s governing political party and allegations bordering
on the source of his wealth since he left office as governor of Lagos in 2007,
have dominated grapevine and beer parlour chatter for decades.
The
allegations remain unproven, however.
Magu
said
HE CAN ONLY ACT ON ALLEGATIONS
CONTAINED IN A PETITION, AND NOT ON HEARSAY.
AND THEN HE CHALLENGED THE JOURNALIST
TO FORWARD HIM A PETITION CONTAINING TINUBU’S ALLEGED DUBIOUS DEALINGS AND
ILLICIT ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH.
“YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU ARE REALLY
INTERESTED, WRITE A PETITION AND SEE WHETHER I WON’T ACT. GO AND WRITE A
PETITION AND SUBSTANTIATE IN THE PETITION AND FIND OUT IF I WON’T ACT.
“IT IS NOT FOR US TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE
ON RADIO AND BEGIN TO ACT. YES, WE HAVE INTELLIGENCE BUT THE SUREST WAY TO GET
ACTION IS TO GO AND WRITE A PETITION AND SUBSTANTIATE THE CONTENTS OF THE
PETITION AND SEE WHETHER I WILL NOT ACT”, MAGU SAID.
