Appointment of Olukoyede as EFCC Chair illegal, violates Commission’s Act —Bwala

Spokesman of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 presidential election, Daniel Bwala, has described the appointment of Ola Olukoyede as the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), by President Bola Tinubu as illegal, unlawful and against the EFCC Act.

Bwala who reacted to the development via his X account, said the appointment failed to meet the provision of Section 2 of the EFCC Act.

Bwala queried the rationale behind appointing Olukoyede whom he said apart from being a legal practitioner, had never worked in any security or law enforcement agency, which automatically knocks him out as the right person to be made Chairman of the EFCC.
