Traditional ruler, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi has hit out at the recently dissolved senate due to their continuous procrastination of Magu’s confirmation as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
According to him, such a gesture is an indication that the lawmakers had “skeletons in their cupboard” as there was absolutely no genuine reason for the procrastination.
The Alaafin of Oyo made the statement when the Ibadan Zonal Head of the commission paid a courtesy visit to his palace in Oyo state.
He stressed that the recovery of looted funds both in local and foreign currencies show that EFCC’s boss, Ibrahim Magu has been very productive.
Oba Olayiwola said, “The eighth National Assembly tried, they did everything possible not to get (Ibrahim) Magu appointed. Why? It is because they have a skeleton in their cupboard,” he declared.
“We must encourage you. We must support you and cooperate with you, otherwise, corruption will kill Nigeria.
“The fear of EFCC is leading some looters to several parts of the world. But you are after them. You are getting them. There is no hiding place for them.
“Through you, I want to commend Ibrahim Magu for a job well done.”
