- They are about to kill and bury Anti-corruption war, career of over 3,000 EFCC Officers and the Agency
What did the Law (EFCC Establishment Acts) provides for the appointment of her leadership (Executive Chairman).
Section 2(1)
“a. Chairman who shall‐
(i) be the chief executive and accounting officer of the Commission;
(ii) be a serving or retired member of any government security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivaent; and
(iii) possess not less than15 years cognate experience”
From the above, it is crystal clear that, until the provision of the EFCC Establishment Acts is amended by the National Assembly, no administration is right to announce just anybody or one Olukayede, who has never been a member of any Security and law enforcement Agency in Nigeria as Executive Chairman of the EFCC. Otherwise, it is a nullity and void ab initio.
Nigerians must not idle away while our critical institutions are under grave attack. The Bar and the Bench represented by the NBA, the National Assembly who made the law, civil society organisations, the Media, the Intelligence, Security and Law enforcement Communities, international Stakeholders against Corruption, Economic and Financial Crimes and other advocates for good governance must unite firmly to defend our laws and institutions like EFCC from being hijacked or destroyed by any individual, group or government.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must listen to patriotic voice rather than those around him who obviously do not mean well for him, his administration and Nigeria.
