Despite resignation, Buhari to determine Onnoghen’s fate - Vanguard News

Onnoghen is said to have turned in his resignation letter to the Presidency last Thursday as soon as the NJC decided to forward its recommendation to the President rather than issue a statement to the media at the end of its meeting, as has always been the practice.

Buhari is expected to make a pronouncement on Onnoghen as soon as he returns from the Middle East where he had gone to attend several meetings bordering on investments and security. “But one thing you can be sure of is that Buhari will not shield Onnoghen from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, which has already drawn up a case against him,” the top official said.But while Ibrahim Magu and EFCC appear to have succeeded in ousting Onoghen, powerful hawks in the government who feel threatened by his rising influence in the system, have launched a renewed bid to edge him out of office before May 2019.

The forces arrayed against Magu are of the view that the senior police officer, who had escaped being removed many times, is likely to be confirmed as substantive EFCC chairman if allowed to remain in office given the clear fact that the All Progressives Congress, APC, now has majority in the National Assembly and with a possible friendly leadership.
