Ondo State Governor, Uluwarotimi Akeredolu, represented by his deputy on Wednesday has pleaded with the Senate to confirm Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the EFCC.
The appeal was made in Akure while playing host to a team from the commission's zonal headquarters, Benin Office
"The Senate should resolve the lingering issue of confirming the appointment of Magu as EFCC chairman for the benefit of the country", he said.
The governor said Magu had been in an acting capacity as chairman of the commission for more than two years.
Akeredolu said EFCC, under the President Muhammadu Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government, had achieved a lot in fighting corruption more than the previous governments in the country.
“To fight corruption is more difficult than the fight against Boko Haram in the northern part of the country.
“With the record of billions recovered by the commission in the country, it means God is with this country.
“With the level of massive looting in the country in the past, I believe there is hope for Nigeria to get to the greater height,’’ he said.
