The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to supporting the agency’s work has demonstrated that there is no safe haven for corrupt politicians and citizens in Nigeria.
He made this remark while receiving the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in Abuja on Tuesday.
The EFCC boss said, “We believe that with the kind of President we have, who is ready and willing to do the right thing, and from what we have seen in recent times and the last 48 hours, it is clear that he has provided the political will and leadership and created the atmosphere for us to work.”
He continued: “So, there is no hiding place for the corrupt. We must give our best, we must be committed and give the President the support he needs. Nobody is too big to be investigated in this country. Once you are not playing according to the rules, we will investigate you.”
He also stated that the engagement with the ICPC was sending the appropriate signals to the entire country, indicating that the anti-corruption authorities are banding together and extending hands of comradeship and fellowship to one another with the intent to work together.
He noted that both organisations had a Memorandum of Understanding or MoU.
