EFCC Chairman Stands Firm: Vows to Resign if Yahaya Bello Escapes Prosecution
In an unprecedented move that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mr. Ola Olukoyede has publicly declared his intention to resign should Governor Yahaya Bello not face prosecution.
This bold statement came during a press conference in Abuja, where the EFCC Chairman expressed his unwavering commitment to justice and the rule of law.
“The fight against corruption is not just an institutional mandate; it is a moral crusade to ensure the integrity of our nation.
“If we falter in bringing alleged offenders to justice, then we fail not only in our duty but also in our service to the people of Nigeria”, Mr. Olukoyede said.
The Chairman’s declaration has garnered support from various anti-corruption organizations and civil society groups, who view this as a positive step towards accountability and transparency in governance.
However, it has also raised questions about the implications for the EFCC’s operations and the political ramifications of such a high-profile resignation.
As the nation watches on, the Chairman’s stance remains clear: there will be no compromise when it comes to upholding justice. The coming days are expected to be a litmus test for the country’s judiciary system and its ability to prosecute without fear or favour.
