A former President of the Senate, Adolphus Wabara, has called on the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, to resign his appointment following indicting security reports about him.
Mr.  Wabara, who made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Abuja, also called for the resignation of on the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.
The Senate had called for the resignation of Mr. Lawal for his alleged involvement in diversion of funds meant for humanitarian services in the North-East.
Mr. Wabara urged the duo to resign on moral grounds, saying it did not matter if the allegations against them were proved or not.
“They should go. When Obasanjo alleged corruption matter against me I resigned, I resigned to face it. So I mean you resign,” Mr. Wabara said.
“Whatever position anybody is occupying is not his father’s position. If there is a moral issue, it doesn’t even have to be proven. You give way to fight it.
“One thing is very clear, it is not witch-hunting. If it is happening to a senator, Nigerians will say yes go ahead and do it but this reports are coming from outside of Senate.
“They did not go there to write or originate the reports and it is their right, it is the right of the Senate to work on any report that they receive judiciously.
