Magu: Group threatens to mobilise Nigerians against Senate

Asocio-political group under the aegis of Project 20 Million, has threatened to mobilise Nigerians against the Senate over its failure to confirm the appointment of the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mr. Ibrahim Magu.

The Director General of the group, Mr. Ikechukwu Chukwunyere, in a press statement, said the Senate should clear Magu and allow him to do his job without sentiments.

The group commended President Muhammadu Buhari on the fight against corruption and urged the Nigerian Senate to imbibe the spirit with which Buhari was tackling corruption.

According to the statement, “The Nigerian Senate should as a matter of urgency clear Magu or else Nigerians will be forced to stage a demonstration against the Red Chamber”.

Ikechukwu said the group had concluded plans to launch a campaign tagged “I’m A Nigerian, I Want Greatness” as part of strategies to mobilise youths to show interest in the affairs of the nation and be confident in their country.

“This initiative is a project of the youth, by the youth and for the betterment of the youth and we will pursue activities that will be beneficial to youths. We intend to partner the anti-graft agencies and other necessary institutions to ensure that we stamp out corruption, rid the nation of corrupt political office holders and fraudulent government officials so that the right set of leaders would emerge in 2019,” he said.
