The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says after reviewing the reported circumstances surrounding the investigation of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), IBRAHIM MAGU, it is only right that he gets prosecuted accordingly.

The party said that MAGU’s ‘indictment’ reinforces its position that the much-hyped war against corruption by the EFCC, under his watch, has been a huge scam by corrupt individuals to cover the plundering of public resources, harass political opponents, intimidate and extort money from innocent Nigerians.

PDP’s spokesman, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN stated in a communiqué that the revelations of diversion of recovered funds and fraudulent sale of assets seized by the EFCC among others as detailed in the memo by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, as well as the report of the Department of State Services on MAGU’s activities, have further exposed the racket that the fight against corruption had become under the All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

The PDP further argued that what Nigerians expect at this moment is for President MUHAMMADI BUHARI to enforce the law by directing relevant agencies to commence actions that would lead to MAGU’s prosecution in the court, adding that anything short of this will not be acceptable to Nigerians.
