The CSOs strongly advised the anti-graft agency under the leadership of Ola Olukoyede to refrain from allowing “cankerworms of the previous management left in the system” to rubbish his credentials as the head of the commission.
The over 300 anti-corruption activists, under seven broad frontline organisations, in a statement issued in Lokoja, noted that it was pertinent for them to raise an early alert in view of the misuse of the EFCC by political gladiators as a veritable tool of victimisation and score-settling.
The statement was signed on behalf of others by the Director, Publicity and Research, Sustainable Initiative for Nurturing Growth, Fisayo Abayomi; Chairman, Zero Graft Coalition, Dr Olusegun Adesanmi; and National Coordinator, Integrity Forum, Mohammed Zakari.
