A former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mrs . Farida Waziri, says she was glad in retrospect that ex - President Goodluck Jonathan kicked her out of office .

She said had she not been sacked , she would have been traumatised by now , given the ongoing revelation of alleged grand corruption that took place under Jonathan’ s administration .

Waziri said the EFCC under Jonathan was not given free hand to operate, saying she got the first indication of it during the probe of the fuel subsidy scam .

She said it was her refusal to back down from the probe of one of the masterminds of the fuel subsidy scam that earned her a dismissal by Jonathan .

A statement on Sunday quoted the ex - EFCC helmsman as saying this during an interaction with journalists at an unnamed event , which she attended in Lagos at the weekend .

She was said to have been asked to react to the revelation about the alleged grand sleaze that took place under Jonathan’ s watch .

“ I’ m only glad that those things didn’ t happen under my watch as the EFCC Chairman because it would have been too traumatic for me . And that is why if I see President Jonathan today , I will kneel down to thank him for the honour done me by removing me as the EFCC Chairman at the time he did .

“ My first strong premonition of what was ahead was when I began the probe of the monumental oil subsidy fraud going on then.

“ I came to Lagos on a vital intelligence on the subsidy scam and as soon as I arrested a key culprit I got a call from the Presidential Villa asking me to release the suspect , because , in their words , ‘ he is our person ’ , but I refused to let him off and days after I was removed from office , ” Waziri was quoted to have said.

Why now?

Tolexander:
My question is;

Since Farida was not happy with the situation of things then, why waiting to be fired by the presidency before stepping down as the EFCC boss?

The fact that you have your armpits as bushy as your head does not call for you replacing your reasoning faculty with your armpits.

So understandable the word days in the phrase, "days after" is confusing you.
You could have requested for millenniums after!

When she received a Presidential call, why didn't she step down immediately if she was sincere?
Or what other call does she need to tell her the presidency is not in support of the probe!

You no get any iota of sense at all.
So bad!
Well, that is typical of Zombies. No brain of theirs.

Presidential villa call and Presidential call, what is the difference?

Don't you think you are ineligible for this BMC role?

Jonathan is thief now, How do you want him to give you the free hand, knowing that even himself would be implicated?

Ever wondered, why only the equally useless and proscribed ipob members still worship him?
