Comrade Oginni Olaposi Sunday, the National Secretary of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), has dismissed the Kano State High Court order obtained by Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to halt his investigation and prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as too weak to evade justice.
Speaking to journalists in Abeokuta on Thursday, Oginni condemned the persistent resistance of former governors to EFCC investigations, citing the party’s request for the anti-graft agency to investigate Kwankwaso and other officials for allegedly stealing funds from the sales of nomination forms and campaign donations for the 2023 elections.
Oginni accused Kwankwaso of attempting to frustrate the EFCC’s investigation by seeking a court order, similar to the approach taken by Yahaya Bello, the former Governor of Kogi State. He emphasized that if Kwankwaso and his associates are innocent, they should not evade the EFCC’s investigation.
