Abdulrasheed Bawa, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has hinted that the Commission is currently investigating Bola Tinubu, National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Bawa disclosed that the investigation would take time because it takes time.

Speaking with THISDAY, the EFCC czar revealed that they have a request for Tinubu’s assets declaration form.

According to Bawa: “You asked me a question earlier about arresting people before an investigation and now you are saying why didn’t we arrest Tinubu? Why didn’t you just say ‘arrest him’?

“Investigation is ongoing. When you are investigating matters like this, they don’t end in a day. Thousands of investigations are going on, on a daily basis.

“You understand? You know you are from the media. After you will say we are doing a media trial.”

Fast forward to 2023. President Tinubu on Wednesday approved the indefinite suspension from office of Bawa as the Chairman of the EFCC, to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.

A statement by Willie Bassey, a Director of Information in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), said Bawa’s suspension followed weighty allegations of abuse of office levelled against him.

Bawa was directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Director, Operations in the anti-graft agency, who will oversee the affairs of the Office of the Chairman of the EFCC pending the conclusion of the investigation.

Day by day, it's becoming clearer to those who were misled into thinking the Obidient movement was one that genuinely wanted positive change in the country.

S far, negative news has been scarce. They've got practically nothing with which to create threads that excite them. So they now resort to digging up silly old stuffs like this to poke holes in whatever progress the country seems to be making. It hurts them deeply progress is being made.

All they desire was to see Obi become president, doesn't matter whether he could get the job done or not. Their pride is in tatters with the current realities. Had someone like Obi become the president, religious zealots like Enenche and Oyedepo would have been rullig the country by proxy, while Obi remains nothing but their ultra willing/Obidient puppet.

Dear Obidients, whether you like it or not, Nigeria will succeed.

Wailers will also cry like a baby, instead of you to focus on the case in court.

Your parents are probably silly, otherwise they would have raised you in such a manner you don't call others silly when they've not interacted with you in a manner that warrants that.

President Tinubu was in opposition for 16yrs, he was the most investigated and nothing was found on him, not even the most vindictive OBJ who threw everything at him. Nuhu Ribadu who holds the cleanest slate yet as the boss of EFCC became a loyalist of Tinubu following a confession of having found him not guilty of any crime despite involving INTERPOL in the series of investigation.

SpatialKing:


Shame on all of you
A president that is under EFCC investigation

Peter Obi has never been investigated by the EFCC

Who discovered that Obi kept stolen money in Panama?
