President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Hakeem Odumosu as the substantive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Newspremises reports.

The appointment however, is subject to his confirmation by the Senate.

Tinubu has suspended indefinitely the former chairman of the anti-corruption body on Wednesday, June 14.

According to a release from the presidency on, Bawa’s suspension is “to allow for proper investigation into his conduct while in office. This follows weighty allegation of abuse of office leveled against him.

“Mr Bawa has been directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Director, Operations in the commission, who will oversee the affairs of the Office of the Chairman pending the conclusion of investigation.”

Bawa was soon invited by the Department of State Services for questioning over allegations of corruption and abuse of office.

Bawa’s suspension came days after Tinubu suspended the Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, from office.

Emefiele’s suspension was confirmed by Willie Bassey, the Director, Information, for the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has suspended the Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, CFR, from office with immediate effect.

“This is sequel to the ongoing investigation of his office and the planned reforms in the financial sector of the economy.

“Mr Emefiele has been directed to immediately hand over the affairs of his office to the Deputy Governor (Operations Directorate), who will act as the Central Bank Governor pending the conclusion of investigation and the reforms.”

We have no issues with that, as long as Buhari can do it, Tinubu too can do it. When it gets to south east, if they like they should behave like Goodluck Jonathan.

Congratulations to Hakeem Odumosu.

I know the thing dey pain you..

The fulani has been EFCC chairman since 1999....

We are now fully in Fulani Yoruba government

Good one. I remember Hakeem Odumosu, he did a great job in Lagos too. Tinubu always surrounds himself with tested and trusted people. He prefers efficiency and competency rather than any yeye Federal character or Public opinion/perception.

Don't be surprised if all the post are occupied by Yoruba because Yoruba are the most competent tribe in Nigeria.

Ok. Same way Fulanis were the most competent during Buhari's tenure
Nigeria will never get better with this level of nepotism and tribalism

I’m not believing this news until it is confirmed by NTA.

Only Tinubu can take the type of steps he has taken so far. Even Obasanjo couldn't

And we all saw the best performance of the fulani administration.

NTA broke the news.

NTA breaking news faster than CNN lately

A Yoruba adage goes thus "If I say na like this I go do my thing, nothing fit change am".
During Buhari's time, Miyetti Allah assumed that Nigeria belongs to the Fulanis and they wanted to claim every land in the country in the name of RUGA, thinking that Buhari will remain in power forever. They forgot that all power belongs to God and He gives whoever He will at the right time.
Anyway, those that are not happy with these appointments should wait for their turn. Yoruba lo kan.

Bring someone from your village who is more qualified. That's all it takes.

We watching, he should just trade with caution

Yes oooooo, all the abokiis are being removed one by one, e remain the aboki heads of NNPC and it’s subsidiaries

Right from the days of Ribadu EFCC has been headed by the North.
Buhari started this extreme nepotism, Tinubu is just trying to balance the equation,though his neglect of the SS and SE is not the best,but anything is better than abokis heading all sensitive posts.

If tinubu should replace all northerners in government positions with southerners and southerners with northerners, should anyone complain?? Go to court if you don’t like it

South 2023 is on course
