We set up EFCC to fight corruption, not to entertain Nigerians — PDP

The People Democratic Party, PDP, has
charged the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, to stop what it described
as a circus show, noting the agency had
drifted from the focussed body established in
2003 by Olusegun Obasanjo, who became
President on its platform.

Reacting to the monies discovered by the
EFCC in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos, PDP
alleged that under President Muhammadu
Buhari, the anti-corruption fight had lost focus.
The opposition party said it had become
embarrassing for the anti-graft agency to keep
finding money in apartments and offices
without disclosing the identity of the owners.
The party accused the EFCC of refusing to
reveal the “true identity” of owner of the flat
where the money was discovered.
It also urged the anti-graft agency to tell
Nigerians the owners of the funds discovered
at Kaduna airport, Victoria Island and Balogun
market in Lagos state.
The party tweeted yesterday: “The PDP
administration established the EFCC to fight
corruption effectively & efficiently and not to
entertain Nigerians.”
“The anti-corruption fight under the APC govt
has become comedy. The EFCC now discovers
funds in apartments and offices that have no
owners.”
“It is preposterous to imagine that the last
four seizures coincidentally have no known
owners. This is most unfortunate and
embarrassing.
“Who are the owners of N49 millionh at
Kaduna Airport, N448 million at LEGICO Mall,
N250 million in Balogun Market and $43.4m,
N23.2m & £27,000 in Osborne Road?
“The EFCC must also tell Nigerians the total
amount they have recovered in the last two
years & provide verifiable accounts of
recovered funds.”
