Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju on Tuesday criticized the Kogi State House of Assembly for calling for the removal of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Chairman, Ola Olukoyede. Adeyanju said the Assembly should have focused on the massive looting under the administration of former governor Yahaya Bello.
DAILY POST recalls that the Assembly demanded Olukoyede's removal over claims of alleged assassination attempts on Bello, who they see as a threat to the current governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo. They accused the anti-graft agency of attacking the governor's lodge unprovoked and suggested the EFCC is acting as if it were above the law. Reacting, Adeyanju said the Assembly's actions are a blatant disregard for justice and the welfare of the people of Kogi State.
'The people of Kogi deserve answers, not theatrics. Yahaya Bello's tenure was marred by corruption, mismanagement, and financial impropriety, resulting in dire economic straits for the state. 'The Assembly's actions are a blatant disregard for justice and the welfare of the Kogi people. It's time for citizens to reflect on the kind of leaders they elect. Leaders without moral and ethical grounding prioritize their interests over public service.
