Timi Frank, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and other governors who served during the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari. He commended the anti-graft agency for probing the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, and urged them to extend the same scrutiny to others who served in Buhari’s administration.
Frank stated that investigating former governors would demonstrate that the EFCC’s action against Bello was not a witch hunt.
“We commend the EFCC for its efforts in pursuing Yahaya Bello’s prosecution. However, we urge the agency to also investigate other former governors, including Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, whose alleged corrupt practices have been reported to the EFCC,” he said.
Frank highlighted that Nigerians are yet to witness the arrest of the alleged corrupt public officials who served under Buhari, despite petitions against them before the EFCC.
He emphasized that by bringing those accused of corruption under Buhari to court to face trial, the EFCC would demonstrate to Nigerians that their actions against Bello are not politically motivated.
