SPECIAL REPORT: Antimicrobial resistance crisis heightens in Nigeria, other countriesBlood on UniformsSPECIAL REPORT: Antimicrobial resistance crisis heightens in Nigeria, other countriesSports FeaturesPersonally, I usually restrain from commenting on Nigeria’s political issues. I do, not because I don’t have opinions, but because most times, I don’t really know where to start from. As you are thinking of one, more than ten issues rear their ugly heads almost simultaneously.
Before Thursday, the EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede had waited for more than four months to get Bello behind a dock. He even promised in April this year that he would resign if he failed to get the former governor to stand trial for the money laundering case against him. Then he made it clear that Bello could only run, but couldn’t hide. “I don’t mind the outcome of this case, but the right thing must be done. If we don’t see this case through, I will resign,” he had threatened.
The EFCC is supposed to be an anti-graft body working in the interest of Nigerians. My concern is that the commission has failed to meet the expectation of many people in going about its duties. Already, many Nigerians see the commission as an instrument of fighting perceived enemies. They are still waiting to be convinced that the commission is truly interested in prosecuting corrupt Nigerians.
