₦airaland Forum

Barely a week after Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed expressed willingness to work with Peter Obi, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched an investigation into an alleged ₦70 billion fraud linked to his administration.

The anti-graft agency recently arrested the state’s Accountant General, Alhaji Sirajo Mohammed Jaja, and two others in connection with the alleged money laundering and diversion of public funds.

The investigation has raised eyebrows, given its timing in relation to Mohammed’s political stance.

The governor had, on March 13, 2025, held a private meeting with Obi, where he described the him as a statesman and the face of opposition politics in Nigeria.

Mohammed openly declared his readiness to work with Obi to strengthen the opposition ahead of the 2027 elections. Just days later, the EFCC moved against his administration, investigating cash withdrawals totaling ₦59 billion allegedly made through various government accounts.

The timing of the investigation, coming almost immediately after Mohammed’s alignment with Obi, has fueled speculations that his support for the Labour Party leader may have triggered the renewed scrutiny.

However, this development has intensified debates about the independence of Nigeria’s anti-corruption agencies and their role in shaping the country’s political landscape.

With the 2027 elections approaching, the probe against Bala Mohammed could either be a legitimate anti-corruption move or a strategic crackdown on political opponents.

Ok

Efcc will probe him and play politics on him well. Bala has immunity against arrest and detention here. Also Tinubu will used Efcc to silence him. Politics is very deep.

When the video of Gandollar stuffing his babadiga pockets with wads of the USA dollars proceeds of corruption is still there on the internet. Why have they not probed individuals like that? Victimization will only make the opposition stronger.

Yes, that's because Peter Obi is Tinubu's biggest nightmare. If a man could get 6 million votes from an unknown party, then he will do a lot of damage if the biggest opposition party, the PDP, gives him their ticket.

That's why E-Bola and his witchhaunt agents, EFCC, are chasing after anyone who associates with him. Peter Obi should return to the PDP. Contesting under another party is a complete waste of time.

He is a man of Equity, he is not afraid

So because he support Obi he should not be investigated, we should give him license to commit crime.

How did we get to this? How did we get to a world where if you want to commit any crime, even terrorism and be immune to all investigations and prob just make yourself a political opposition to a ruling party?

You will even get willing supporters Who don't even care whether you're quilty or not.

Who dey fear EFCC again,what of El-Rufai
