Oshiomhole says EFCC's boss job is very challenging

The task of handling the EFCC by Ibrahim Magu has been described as the most challenging by ex-Gov of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole.

In a report by TheCable, Oshiomhole was quoted as saying Magu’s job is more tasking than those of President Muhammadu Buhari and Senate President Bukola Saraki.

“You have the most difficult and challenging job in this country today; more challenging than the job of a governor, the job of a President, the job of a Senate President or any other person because those ones are clearly defined and the values are there but this one is really problematic.”

Continuing, he said: “In the past we were made to believe that you could not probe the armed forces because of security reasons because they could overthrow; so, army accounts were never touched. But we are beginning to see changes. Today, even former service chiefs are being made to account for fighting the money that was meant for insurgency but diverted and kept in pit latrines.

“I can see both people in opposition and government being made to give account.

He called for synergy between anti-corruption agencies, urging them to endeavour to share intelligence.

“We are all witnesses to the fact that individualistic approach has not taken us anywhere.

“How can we win the fight against corruption without casualties? There has to be collaboration among anti-corruption agencies, all the agencies involved in the fight against corruption must have to share intelligence,” Oshiomhole said.

Oshiomhole spoke on at the first national anti-corruption stakeholders’ summit at the EFCC Academy in Abuja, which held on Monday, March 27, 2017.
