#80.2BN Fraud: EFCC Chairman Vows to Resign, If Yahaya Bello is Not Prosecuted

The dilemma over the attempt to prosecute the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello is putting the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC under the spotlight. But the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, has vowed to pursue it to a logical conclusion. Olukoyede vowed to resign as EFCC chairman, if the embattled former Kogi Governor is not prosecuted. He also vowed that those who obstructed the arrest of Bello will be brought to justice. Meanwhile, the anti-graft agency has arrested the immediate past Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika over alleged 8.06 billion naira fraud. The EFCC has also slammed a new four-count charge on former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele. The fresh charges border on alleged approval of printing of 684 million naira at the rate of 18.96 billion naira.

Instead, they’re boasting about a stupid lightweight train that serves less that 1% of commuters in the state! Mind you, the amount spent on that same train over the past 19 years is multiple times over what Kenya spent on its high quality trains.

Instead of opposing plans by other states to make their ports operational because of the returns they’d be getting as income, the FG should focus on allowing other ports to function so as so reduce the workload and traffic on the Apapa port - which clearly is being overwhelmed with traffic congestion.
