We’re Not In Cahoots With Saraki, EFCC Replies Buhari’s Adviser by engineerboat(m): 7:35pm On Aug 12, 2018
The anti-graft agency, EFCC, has responded to an allegation by an aide to President Muhammadu Buhari that it and other security agencies may have worked for the benefit of the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Babafemi Ojodu, Mr Buhari’s adviser on political matters, reportedly made the allegation in an article.

The allegation that some security agencies were working with Mr Saraki became rife last week after the siege by the State Security Service (SSS) on the National Assembly.

While many Nigerians believed the siege was to forcibly remove Mr Saraki from office as senate president, others including presidency officials believe the SSS was playing a script by the senate president.

Mr Saraki has rejected the allegation and condemned the siege on the National Assembly. He also commended the sack of the then SSS Director-General, Lawal Daura.

The EFCC in a statement by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, on Sunday said it was not working with Mr Saraki.

Read the full EFCC statement below.

The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a widely syndicated article by Senator Babafemi Ojudu, special adviser to the President on Political Matters entitled, fifth Columnists in Our Recent History, wherein he portrayed the Commission as a conscript in the devious plots by Senator Bukola Saraki to undermine the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari. According to Ojudu, “From the shenanigans at the Benue House of Assembly, to the siege on National Assembly, the attack on judges home in the night, the so called barricade of the Senate President’s house, the laughable kidnap of Boy Dino and “his eleven hours on a tree’, the freezing of Benue and Akwa Ibom accounts all are scripted, produced and acted by Oloye Productions”.

The Commission takes exception at the attempt to impute false motive to its investigative activities. The recent placement of a ‘Post No Debit Order’ on some accounts in Benue and Akwa Ibom States were the culmination of many months of painstaking investigation activities. To reduce such activities to the level of a stunt in a real or imaginary script by any politician is outrageous.

It is important to state that the EFCC is NOT a party to the so called script by Saraki. Members of the public should disregard the innuendo in Ojudu’s article as it is unfounded.

How on earth will a sane, educated Nigerian buy into this irresponsible government template of crying Wolf while raping our democracy and at same time fooling themselves into believing Nigerians are fools and senseless.

What we officially have in place in Nigeria now is PROPAGANDOCRAZY and TERROROCRAZY

When all you do is to govern by lies and concoct all sort of satanic propaganda;the result is this contradictory shame and foolery!!

That we still have people in their right senses still supporting this kind of kindergarten government of propaganda and terror beats my imagination!!

Only a factory fitted mumu should be found shouting sai barber like the hordes of almajiri in the far-flung wahhabic north!

Or could it be spell??...Are you people cursed??...Doing this for money that you generations to come will pay in tears and servitude?

"What seems plain to me is that there is a rogue element (call it the cabal, if you wish) within the present government, which does not feel that it is beholden to any constituted authority or that it needs to consult much less seek the approval of Presidency before it embarks on dastardly raids and incursions like this."

That was quoting from an editorial written by Dele Momodu.....Only a borderline lunatic can be found supporting the continuation of this kind of shambolic rogue government
