Nigeria Senate Rejects Magu As EFCC Chairman For Shady Reasons

After a hot screening session, the senate rejected the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC for the second time, on Wednesday, March 15.
The decision was based on a report made by the State Security Service, SSS against Mr Magu and it stated thus:

"In the light of the foregoing, Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption stand of the current government."

The EFCC led chairman had appeared before the senate committee with satisfactory answers the lawmakers previous questions. But despite that, majority votes rejected him based on the said SSS report which Magu believes lacks credibility.

Two contradictory reports submitted earlier by the security agency reports, approved and rejected Mr. Magu’s confirmation respectively. He disclosed that he was never invited by the SSS to defend the allegations against him and from his reaction, he was clearly astonished by the allegation when he turned to Mr Dino Melaye who brought the report and said:

"We were fighting corruption together before you came to this house and turned against us[EFCC].

Mr Magu was accused of residing in a house rented for him by Mohammed Umar, a retired air commodore accused of corrupt practices, but the EFCC chairman rejected it as false. According to him, the residence at Maitama was rented for him by the FCT authorities for ease of his work.

"I was not part of the process and I don’t know how much was paid. I don’t even know when the rent started or will expire."

He also further accused of taking some of the office files to his house, Magu responded that the nature of his job requires him to get it done at home.

Nevertheless, Magu insisted he will never stop fighting corruption, with or without his confirmation. His appointment was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari and his earlier battles with corrupt government officials has placed him on the black list of some politicians who dread his aggressive method of hunting corrupt leaders.

Hence lawmakers are seeking the removal of power of the presidency to appoint the chairman of the anti-corruption agency. And so the corruption war continues...

Ex President Olusegun Obasanjo Confess About His True Age

The former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has revealed that his current age is official but in reality, he does not know his true age.

In his speech at the 2017 International Youth Variety Day and Public Presentation of Olusegun Obasanjo’s Books for Children, in Abeokuta on Thursday, March 2, he admitted his mother gave birth to him on the Ifo market day.

"At early stage in my life, I had the challenge of knowing my date of birth, and my peers always asked, while in return I persisted in asking my mother, who was an illiterate and had no records," the ex President said.

"When I continued to put pressure on my mother, she told me that she was preparing to go to Ifo market on the said day, and went into labour, and before others could return from the market, she had given birth to me.

According to Obasanjo, his current age was determined by using the age of his peers since his journey to India to solve the puzzle from astronomers was futile. 

"I’m not as lucky as some of my peers who know the dates of their birth. What matters to me is that I have chosen a date. If I don’t even know the exact date of my birth, at least I know my age group,” he added.

The Nigeria former leader will celebrate his 80th birthday on the March 5 as his assumed date of birth is March 5, 1937.
