The 40 year old Abdulrasheed Bawa, a relation to the Attorney General and Minister for justice, Malami, is not qualified to be the EFCC Chairman:
– He was recruited into Efcc in 2004/5
– He spent ONLY 16 years in the Commission
– He is on grade level 13
According to EFCC Establishment Act, Section 2a (ii) the Chairman to be appointed should :
“be a serving or retired member of any security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent”
Such equivalence in the EFCC is Grade Level 15, and Bawa is on Gl 13 !!!
The EFCC Law is an Act of National Assembly hence Senate must not over rule itself by breaching a critical provision in the appointment of EFCC Chairman.
The Attorney General has violated the law and misled the President in sending an unqualified nomination to the Senate for confirmation in his bid to prepare ground to be the Governor of Kebbi State come 2023.
