Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, has vowed to continue his fight against
corruption irrespective of those affected.
Magu made the remark on Thursday during an interactive
session with staff of the commission to mark its 14th year anniversary.
The anti-graft agency boss declared that the commission was
determined to wipe out corruption from Nigeria.
According to Magu, “We will continue to fight corruption
whether anybody likes it or not. Because, we know that, that is the only way we
can bring succor to this country. Now that we have found ourselves in this
position, please, let us put heads together.
“My door is completely open. If something is going on wrong,
please come and tell me. If you don’t want to show your face, just write a
letter to me. Information is very important. I am alone, if you don’t tell me
what is wrong, I would not know.
“I don’t want to know what is right, just tell us how we can
correct the system itself, because the system needs correction every day.
People are complaining about corruption in the EFCC, which is not good. We
should not allow some individuals to spoil our names here.”
Urging operatives of the commission to approach the
anti-graft selflessly, in the interest of the nation, Magu disclosed that the
successes of the commission were being celebrated in the international
communities.
“If you go to United States of America and the United
Kingdom, they are all awash with news about us because of this Malabu case.
“So we are succeeding. Be part of the success. Forget about
your own interest. Consider the overall interest of this country and the
interest of the nation,” he said
