Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ibrahim Magu is in big trouble as some governors, ministers and senators are plotting his sack.

Impeccable sources squealed to us that; “The arrowheads, including outgoing governors, have begun smear campaigns to poison the minds of Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the First Lady, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, against Magu.”

“They are said to be relying on three bogus/ fake reports against Magu allegedly submitted to the Presidency by an unknown government agency. They are also alleging lack of loyalty against Magu, claiming that he is working against APC’s interest from now till 2023.”

“They cite how EFCC’s probe led to Onnoghen’s sudden resignation. They allege that Magu can go to any length to expose them, especially the outgoing governors, when they leave office. They are of the opinion that since they have skeletons in their cupboards, Magu can prosecute them once he is still in office.”

“The promoters of the plot have co-opted politically exposed persons in the APC and the PDP.”

“Some senators are jittery over possible confirmation of Magu after May 29, as they are afraid that he may go after them once they lose their privileged positions. They are aware that there are pending investigations against them, including over N1trillion unexecuted constituency projects. Magu is uncompromising in this regard.”

For those who don’t know, this is the third time in two years that attempt has been made to remove Magu from office.

Our sources added that there was a plot in January to send Magu on a course at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) on or before the conclusion of the general elections.
