IgbereTV reports that the presidency has stated that the reason for the ongoing probe of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu is to reinforce transparency and accountability.
A statement made available to IgbereTV by State House correspondents on Tuesday, reads:
“The panel investigating allegations against Ag. EFCC Chairman had been sitting for some weeks now.
“In consonance with the principle of fairness and justice, it was needful that the Ag. Chairman be given opportunity to respond to the allegations, which are weighty in nature.”
“The investigation is to reinforce transparency and accountability, rather than to vitiate it.
“Accountability for our actions or inactions is an inalienable part of democracy.
“In such elevated position as that of EFCC Chairman, the holder of the position must be above suspicion.
“There’s no prejudgement. Absolutely none. The Buhari administration can be counted on to uphold fairness and justice at all times.”
