Mainagate: Magu is fighting Kanuri governorship agenda-Biu Emirate

The Coordinator, Biu Emirate Youth Advancement Coalition, Mallam Umar Bundi Bukar has warned Chairman of the Economic and Financial Commission (EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu to hands off matters concerning their son, Abdulrasheed Maina.

Bukar in a press conference at the weekend insisted that Abdulrasheed Maina does not have a 7 year old son as alleged by Magu at the House of Reps probe, saying that “no word coming from Magu regarding the pension fraud can be trusted.

The emirate also said that no such account as alleged by Magu exists challenging Magu to publish the account showing the balance of N1.7bn as he indicated at the House of Representatives sitting probing the reinstatement of Mr Maina.

He added that it is a complete fabrication of lies which was created because Borno South had started agitation for power rotation noting that its likely candidate might be Maina.

“That is why Magu being a Kanuri man, has been working hard alongside some officials of Borno state government to drag Maina’s name into the mud.

Bukar said that Maina recovered N1.3trillion for Buhari Government as indicated by the Minister of Justice at the Senate hearing.

“How come no one is talking about it?
Nigerians should not be taken on a ride, we must read in between the lines to see the difference between N1.3tr Maina recovered and the N2.1bn Magu is falsely accusing Maina of. How much is the 5% whistle blowers fees for N1.3tr compared to the N2.1bn he is being accused of.

“Maina has performed creditably well and no one person in Nigeria has achieved this feat to date. Instead of celebrating Maina, some corrupt persons who having become a burden for the Buhari administration, are busy persecuting him and the government that is said to be fighting corruption is looking the other way?

“Elections are coming and all Nigerians have opened their eyes wide to see reason before casting their votes. We are tired of this reverse psychology,” Bukar said.

Bukar cautioned that henceforth honest civil and public office holders will be afraid to venture into anything to do with fighting corruption, since doing so would spell doom for the person fighting.

“Are we not encouraging corruption? If not how can intelligent Nigerians not read in between the lines to see that EFCC under Magu is rotten to the core. Even good staffers of EFCC are not happy that Magu is not working by the rules. Let him touch Maina and he will know that he touched a Biu man.”
