Reno Omokri, aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, has attacked Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, for wearing an emblem of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The act was seen by many Nigerians as compromising EFCC’s independence, with total allegiance to President Buhari’s re-election.

Reacting on Wednesday, Omokri described the act as a “shameful aberration”, adding that none of Magu’s predecessors engaged in such an act.

Among notable Nigerians who condemned Magu was a seasoned columnist, Kayode Ogundamisi, who took to Twitter to express his disapproval of the action of the EFCC boss.

Ogundamisi wrote,‏ “EFCC is not the private property of @NGRPresident @MBuhari the head of the agency wearing a Buhari lapel compromises his independence. The loyalty of heads of agencies is to the constitution of Nigeria and the acts establishing them. Magu is bringing EFCC into disrepute”
