I commend them for they agility
I want them to investigate them well well and charge them to court if they have enough evidence
But
The EFCC chairman has to discharge the burden of impartiality
The EFCC has a huge file on Wike
The previous EFCC chairman told us how Wike authorized the withdrawal of 117 billion naira from Rivers treasury in cash
What is the this EFCC chairman waiting for?
The EFCC has a huge file on Matawalle
The previous EFCC chairman had told us that the agency had huge a huge cache of evidence against Matawalle
The present Zamfara governor has confirmed it
What is this EFCC chairman waiting for?
The EFCC has evidence against Akpabio
The previous EFCC chairman told us the agency had filth on Akpabio
What’s the EFCC chairman waiting for?
It’s good to go against corrupt politicians
It’s selective justice to go against some
While leaving apparent sacred cows against whom evidence has been accumulated
If an EFCC chairman announces that the agency has evidence against a politician
A new EFCC chairman cannot sweep it under the carpet and retain the confidence of the public
The EFCC should be conscious of its institutional reputation
The chairman is a born again Christian
He must tell the public at every opportunity what he is doing with the cases of suspected corrupt politicians who are friends of the president
Especially those in the cabinet
All the above named politicians are innocent until proven guilty before a competent court
Going after opposition former governors
While avoiding former governors whom the public believes are needed for the president’s relection campaign is cowardly and corrupt policing
If the EFCC chairman cannot arrest a former Rivers governor because the court has barred the EFCC from investigating Rivers
Then the EFCC must leave all other states until the CJN and the Supreme Court tell us if EFCC was created only for petty Yahoo Yahoo boys
What is good for the goose is good for the gander
If we think the war against corruption will inconvenience the president’s men
Then let’s postpone it jor
After all we are a banana republic
