Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo has declared that as long as he remains in the acting capacity, no one would remove Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu from office.
Recall that the embattled Magu had been rejected by the National Assembly a couple of times.
The Acting President spoke through Governor
Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State shortly before the commissioning ceremony of the EFCC zonal office in Kaduna on Thursday.
He said he had discussed with President Mahammadu Buhari over the issue of Magu, and the President said as long as he remains President, Magu would not vacate the anti- corruption seat.

Osinbajo said, "We have every confidence in
Magu to fight corruption to a standstill.
"He will remain the EFCC chairman as long as
I remain the Acting President and as well as
Muhammadu Buhari remains the President.
"It is our belief that Magu will continue to remain a nightmare for corrupt people for years to come."
Governor el-Rufai, in his opening address,
disclosed that he had recovered over N500
million quietly from corrupt past government
officials and contractors without anybody
knowing.
He stressed that those corrupt officials will be
handed over to the EFCC in due course for
prosecution.
