A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to extend its probe to those who served under former President Muhammadu Buhari and have been accused of corruption.
He commended the anti-graft commission for its robe of former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello. He noted that probing other officials under Buhari 's administration would avoid giving the impression that the EFCC's actions against Bello were merely a witch hunt. He said: 'We commend the EFCC for its efforts in pursuing Yahaya Bello's prosecution.
However, we urge the agency to also investigate other former governors, including Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike, whose alleged corrupt practices have been reported to the EFCC.' Frank pointed out that Nigerians are yet to witness the arrest of several allegedly corrupt public officials who served under ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, despite petitions against them before the EFCC.
