President Muhammadu Buhari has
invited the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to the presidential villa Abuja.
A source close to the seat of
power made the disclosure to our correspondent on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the invitation sent
earlier in the day, the duo will meet tonight.
It is unclear if the parley will
be private as during Ramadan, the president invites heads of security agencies
and parastatals; lawmakers, religions and traditional leaders; businessmen,
entertainment personalities, youths among others to break the fast with him.
The meeting will hold amid fresh
probe of the former Kwara governor by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC.
On Tuesday, Ibrahim Magu, the
acting chairman, declared that the fresh investigation of Saraki, was not a
witch-hunt.
Magu said the commission does not
witch-hunt any government official irrespective of their political background.
Addressing journalists at the
EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja, Magu disclosed that the Commission only
investigates people it suspects of being involved in corrupt practices.
“It is not personal, we are not
after anybody. His case is not different from other individuals that are being
investigated”, he said.
“The EFCC does not pursue people
who do not have corruption cases. If you are not corrupt, we do not invite you.
If you are not a 419 or internet fraudster, we would never invite you.
”We do our homework very well.
Sometimes we conduct our investigations for up to six months, we have been
investigating people for more than five years.”
