Laughter erupted on the floor of the senate on Wednesday
after Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), mistakenly referred to a lawmaker as Fayose.
The anti-graft czar made the mistake while responding to one
of the questions posed by Duro Faseyi, lawmaker representing Ekiti north
senatorial district.
Faseyi had asked Magu to give a detailed account of the
money recovered by the commission.
“How much has been recovered, including dollars, since you
took charge of the commission?” the lawmaker asked.
In his response, Magu said he could not give a specific
figure.
“It is difficult to give report on how much has been
recovered from fight against corruption,” he said.
He also admitted that the commission is not perfect, but
said the agency will always strive to do its best.
“We do not claim to have a monopoly of knowledge in the
fight against corruption,” he said.
“There is corruption everywhere, even in the EFCC, but we
are doing our best to check it.”
Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti, is having a long-running
battle with the EFCC.
