Jonathan did not starve EFCC of funds - EFCC

Press statement from the EFCC denying that GEJ starved the commission of funds...

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has been drawn to a report in The Sun newspaper of Tuesday, May 26, 2015, entitled, Jonathan Starved EFCC of Funds- Lamorde, in which the Executive Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde was quoted as indicting the out-going Jonathan administration of poor performance.

The Commission takes exception to this report which is pure fabrication by the author for reason best known to him.

In the first place, Lamorde who is currently out of the country did not speak with the media and could not have made the comments attributed to him by The Sun newspapers.

The occasion that provided the basis for the false report by The Sun was a media briefing by Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, spokesperson of the EFCC, who addressed more than 40 journalists from over 30 media organizations at the Commission’s monthly media briefing in Abuja on May 25, 2015. At no time during the event did Uwujaren comment on the performance or lack of it, by the Jonathan administration let alone accusing it of poor performance or starving the Commission of funds.

He was only asked a question on the Commission’s view on the focus which the in-coming Buhari administration places on the fight against corruption, to which he responded that the Commission, like most Nigerians who are bothered about the problem of corruption, welcomes the focus which he believes will further empower the EFCC in the pursuit of its mandate of fighting economic crimes and corruption. It is a great disservice to society when journalists fabricates and twist issues to serve motives that are not altruistic.

I think media outfits should be held accountable to their discrepancies, I mean legally

Media irresponsibility to gain popularity. However, EFCC will be reformed by the incoming government so Lamrode should be preparing his handover notes

Ok

Waiting for PDP apologists to claim Sunnews is now an APC site (now that would be funny)

some maggots already feasted on that thread and insulted the president as they wanted.

who is now the fool.

ok

Wow.. Just Wow... buh y are u saying it now...

Freedom of speech is a guarantee here in Nigeria... Buh Freedom after speech, u are on yo own o....

Those are the kind of news they churned out about Akwa Ibom State.

The Media outfits in Nigeria except a few are after who pays what for the column. Your purse size determines the content and not what they as Journalists saw.

OK, so what major criminals have they persercuted since, or are they just embezzling funds themselves.

Nuhu Ribadu was not ignorant when he was creating this organization, but he indeed failed to see what would come next of something that was scaring every politician left,right and center during OBJ'S time; even OBJ's daughter was investigated.

They have failed ever since to present a proper case to the courts. We, the people, must know where all the funds have diverted into.
