BRIBERY ALLEGATION: EFCC GIVEN 14-DAYS ULTIMATUM TO PROBE GANDUJE
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
A 14-day ultimatum has been given to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by the CNPP to commence the probing of the Kano State Governor Umar Ganduje on the bribery scandal leveled against him.
A Kano High Court yesterday, stopped the state House of Assembly from further investigating the matter pending the determination of the originating summons. It adjourned hearing till November 21, 2018.
The umbrella organisation of all registered political parties said: “The burden of proof that the President Muhammadu Buhari government is covering corrupt members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is heavier now with the Federal Government’s continued silence over the allegations against the governor.”
In a statement by CNPP Secretary General Willy Ezugwu, the organisation said: “We are left to believe that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari and the EFCC under Mr. Ibrahim Magu only fight corruption in states with opposition leadership. Not a few Nigerians have argued that the APC is a hiding place for corrupt politicians and a cover for looters who want respite from the anti-graft agencies under the current Federal Government.
“We are totally behind the position of the state House of Assembly that the courts cannot stop it from carrying out its legislative duties and urge the lawmakers to conclude the investigation without fear or favour.
