Referring to Barrister Muhuyi Magaji Rimingado, the Executive Chairman of the Commission, he further explained that, “When he was appointed as the Chairman, we made it very clear that, there would be no interference in the activities of the Agency. And up till now we have not interfered in any of their activities.”
He further explained that, his administration would continue to support the anti-graft body for effective and efficient operations, adding that, “The leadership of the body is doing well and is capable of moving the Commission forward.”
In a statement by Abba Anwar said the governor commended the Chairman of the Commission, Barrister Rimingado, assuring that, he would always stand for the victory of the Commission at all times. Emphasising that, “Courtesy good leadership style, the Commission achieved many things within these periods. And will continue to achieve more.”
