Appointment Of EFCC Chairman Illegal And Unlawful by ismhab(op): 6:13pm On Oct 12, 2023

@BwalaDaniel
The appointment of Olukayode as EFCC Chairman by PBAT is unlawful and illegal. It runs foul of the provisions of Section 2 of the EFCC ACT which requires that the person to be appointed as EFCC Chairman must amongst other things have

1. Been a serving or retired member of any security or law enforcement agency,

2. Must have 15 years cognate experience of law enforcement, and

3. Must not be below the rank of assistant commissioner of police

Olukayode is a private legal practitioner and has never worked or belong to any security or law enforcement agency as a member

He does not have 15 years cognate experience as a law enforcement officer and

His private legal practice years cannot be equated to the rank in law enforcement. Not enough attending seminal courses as a private legal practitioner can equate to 15 years cognate experience contemplated by section 2 of the Act.

HE ONLY HAS A STINT AS CHIEF OF STAFF OF MAGU AND LATER BECAME A SECRETARY OF THE COMMISSION, ALL OF WHICH LAST FOR LESS THAN 6 YEARS

This government never cease to amaze Nigerians. Who knows, maybe he is being appointed for a mission. God help NIgeria

This is what you get when an illegitimate, certified certificate forger, notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture becomes president

Illegality will reign supreme

There is nothing wrong about the President appointing whoever he wants as the chairman of the Commission, but the Establishment Acts of EFCC needed to be amended first to suit his preferences.


That's rule of law !

He needs to send it first to national assembly to be amended before appointing him.

As we speak now, he is not qualified to be EFCC Chairman.

You are correct sir !
Being a member of EFCC Governing Board as the secretary for six years does not confer on him or qualify him as a personnel of the commission. Even as a Chief of Staff, which is more political in nature.

The Senate should ask when he was recruited as a staff of the commission and the number of cases he has handled since being a member of that agency.

Our political leaders gloat over lawlessness in this country

If Buhari that Tinubu foisted on Nigerians could trample on the law, why not Tinubu himself?
