That's good 👍, a round of applause to Mr president Bola Ahmed Tinubu
ReplyDeleteGood move Mr President! EFCC should even be scrapped. The aim was defeated long ago. It had become politicised and used to settle scores among politicians. Former AGF, Hadi sirka etc are walking freely while they are busy pursuing Yahoo boys up and down. Rubbish
ReplyDeleteOh JAGABAN, Keep doing it, efcc operatives are all virtually corrupt
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, he will be found guilty and never come back again
