President Bola Tinubu has been described as a hurricane for suspending the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, indefinitely.

Deji Adeyanju, a socio-political commentator, said Nigerians are witnessing something different with Tinubu’s actions.

Tweeting, Adeyanju wrote: “Off the internet for some hours only to find out hurricane Tinubu has struck again. Nigerians are truly witnessing a town hall different. Bawa, the EFCC Chair is gone with the wind of Bala Blu.”

On Wednesday, Tinubu suspended Bawa to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office.

Bawa’s suspension was contained in a terse statement by Willie Basse, Director, Information in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF.

The EFCC Chairman was accused of weighty allegations of abuse of office levelled.

The statement reads: “Mr Bawa has been directed to immediately handover the affairs of his office to the Director, Operations, in the Commission, who will oversee the affairs of the Office of the Chairman of the Commission pending the conclusion of the investigation”.

So the same President Tinubu that removed subsidy swiftly/suddenly can not remove these chief executives of MDAs the same way, he is just firing one per week.

For me, this is too slow, fire the nonsense out of them all together just like subsidy was uprooted and let them handover to the most senior director pending the appointment of a substansive chief executive. All these Buhari's cabal people still in government sef.

Ehen that reminds me, I have noticed that these sacks come at night and by morning the sacked fellows are in DSS custody. Well, BATs mostly fly at night sha .

Me, I just cross my leg dey watch the way I have parked my Mercedes Benz with v6 engine for over a week now.

Nigeria oni baje o.

I don't really care what CORN group will say. They are CORNfused morons. This thread is meant to give a non biased analysis of current issue with EFCC chairman sack.
Hire and Fire has always been the trend of EFCC chiramanship. The problem is not sacking or appointment of EFCC Chairman.

The problem is to get a chiarman who can truly fight corruption without unnecessarily being a stooge of the president. From Obasanjo to Buhari, all Nigerian presidents 1999 to date have always used EFCC as a tool to fight opposition. None truly fought corruption. Is Tinubu going to be an exception? If Tinubu can truly fight corruption with the new EFCC chiarman, then he will win my support. But the hope is very faded. How can he fight same people that brought him to power. Wait when he constitute his cabinet and release money to them. Then we will know.

Below are the list of EFCC CHAIRMAN from 1999 till date and below are known corruption cases under Buhari administration begging for Tinubu attention. If he fights them, then he can be trusted. Nothing to celebrate yet. Only time shall tell.
