NIGERIA Newsfull List Of Governors, Deputies Under Efcc’s Investigation by Adranidoo(m): 12:43pm On May 25, 2023 |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is initiating expansive investigations into governors and their deputies who are soon to lose their immunity from prosecution as they leave office, according to reliable sources that spoke with Premium Times. An internal memo reveals the EFCC’s scrutiny extends to at least 28 governors and their deputies, in a country with 36 states each governed by a governor-deputy duo. Eighteen of the governors, along with their deputies, who are slated for EFCC’s scrutiny are set to step down when they complete their second terms in office on May 29. Another governor will also exit office after serving a term on the same date, while ten others are slated to serve a second term following recent elections. A comprehensive investigation is being undertaken, with the EFCC asking for the assets declaration forms of these officials from the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), according to an official communication between the two agencies seen by the platform. The EFCC’s specific cases against these officials remain unclear. However, the agency indicated in a letter to the CCB chairperson, Mohammed Isah, that it requires these asset declaration documents to support an ongoing investigation involving the aforementioned officers. The EFCC’s letter dated April 11, signed on behalf of the EFCC’s chair, Abduralsheed Bawa, includes a list of governors and deputies who assumed office in either 2015 or 2019. The agency requested asset declaration forms submitted at the beginning and end of the current tenure for these officials. It is uncertain if the CCB has replied to the EFCC’s letter. The assets declaration documents are invaluable resources for investigators. However, serving presidents, vice presidents, governors, and deputy governors in Nigeria are immune from criminal prosecution, limiting the EFCC and other anti-corruption agencies to preliminary investigations. List of Governors Under Investigation The outgoing Zamfara governor, Bello Matawalle, and his deputy, Hassan Gusau, are among the 28 governors under the EFCC investigation. The extensive list also includes notable names like Rivers state governor Nyesom Wike, Abdullahi Ganduje, Abubakar Bagudu, Abubakar Bello, Samuel Ortom, and Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Lives of thieving politicians could become miserable at any time. Today, they are moving in a motorcade with security men scaring people with sirens and horsewhip. Tomorrow, they are hiding from one location seeking for court injuction to stop the EFCC or ICPC. Everybody can still remember vividly about the immediate past Governor of Anambra state. He was captured while trying to escape immediately after handing over to the new Governor. Why was he running. Lesson, according to Mr Peter Obi, use public funds for the intended purpose and you will escape handcuffs after service. 1 Like |
