The chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, has assured that any candidate seeking elective office in 2019, who has a corruption case will be charged to court before next year’s election.

The anti-corruption agency boss, who spoke with journalists on Sunday in Abuja also hinted that the EFCC is closely monitoring what politicians are spending on their campaigns.

Magu, however declined to mention names of those involved, saying he does not want to personalise the issue.

When question about the allegation of bribery against the Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, Magu said he would not want to comment on it because the case is in court.
