It's funny how EFCC only goes after politicians in states after you say something the Tinubu family does not like.

The son of the Bauchi State Governor recently criticized Seyi Tinubu for sharing sachet rice to Bauchi people, today EFCC remembers there is a corruption case in the state.

Meanwhile Mudashiru Obasa was removed as Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly for corruption and not for once did EFCC show up at his house.
The damage the monster called Tinubu is doing to Nigeria on a daily basis is unheard of
