Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has
attacked the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, which he
described as a toothless bulldog.
Obasanjo said, though the anti-graft body
became dreaded during the time of
the pioneer
Chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, it has
become a toothless bulldog.
While speaking, on Saturday, during his
79th birthday celebration, held at
Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library
(OOPL), Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital,
the former Nigerian leader wondered
what had happened to the anti-graft
agency that led to its present status.
According to him, gone were the days
when the people believed that “the fear
of Nuhu Ribadu is the beginning of
wisdom”.
The former President, however, advised
the Buhari government and stakeholders
to take a critical look at the situation
that made the agency lose its power to
tame corruption and avoid it.
He said government must avoid any
action that could make the agency take
a step forward and three steps backward.
Obasajo said, “Honestly, when Nuhu was
handling EFCC, he handled it in such a
way that people coined the saying that ‘
the fear of Nuhu Ribadu is the beginning
of wisdom ‘ and then the question you
will ask is, how did we go down? How
did we lose that?
“Nuhu Ribadu is still here, he’s still alive.
The institution we started together is still
there, but what made the institution to
become a toothless bulldog? What? And
that’s the matter we have to keep
looking at, so that we don’t take two
steps forward, one step aside and three
steps back.”

I guess Atiku, babagida, ebele, they can also Qoutes you, doh goodluck was scammed, non of this corruption happens during his tenure is his fault, he taught he is doing his best and he was scammed, and they left him after that to create Apc, Nigerian Mafias are worst than Russians mafia

efcc that politicians teleguide, Efcc never ready.

Obasanjo always showing his weakness all the time. Imagine his pot calling frypan black, he made the EFCC to be a mere negotiating body yet he failed to apologize for crumbling a worthy institution. The so-called EFCC that serves as his hunting arm against his opposition.

Obasanjo ought to bury his head in shame and keep a low key status till the trumpet blows
