The Media Office of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the confrontation between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the ex-governor.
In a statement signed by Ohiare Michael, the media office
condemned the EFCC’s conduct, labelling its recent releases and actions as
biased
The office called on President Tinubu to intervene in the
matter, urging him to ensure that the fight against corruption remains
impartial.
According to Michael, the anti-graft agency’s approach to the bid to arrest the former governor was more of an “embarrassment” to the agency, alleging that the action was driven by undisclosed personal and political interests rather than a genuine fight against corruption.
“If the EFCC was truly interested in prosecution, would the
agency not have taken him in on that day?” the office inquired.
This came after the EFCC declared Bello wanted after his
recent visit to their office.
Recall that the former governor had on September
19, showed up at the agency’s premises in the company of Governor Ododo and
some high-profile personalities.
However, he was allowed to leave without questioning.
