You can’t hide, EFCC will probe your govt at right time – APC tackles Makinde

The Oyo State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC has declared that Governor Seyi Makinde cannot hide from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and other anti-graft agencies.

Thd party declared that the governor will be asked to account for all the monies received by his administration since 2019 at the appropriate time.

The party spoke while responding to Wednesday’s judgment by a Federal High Court in Ibadan.

DAILY POST reports that a Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan on Wednesday ruled that the EFCC has no power to investigate the finances of the current administration in Oyo State.  

But the APC, in its reaction, noted that the EFCC will do its job at the appropriate time.

In a statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare, on Thursday, the Oyo State APC expressed dismay at the court judgment.

It berated Makinde over attempts to prevent the EFCC from carrying out its statutory duty.

“The question on the lips of many patriots now is; “why would a governor be afraid to render account of resources given to him on trust to benefit the citizenry? What size of skeleton does Gov. Makinde have in the cupboard that he is keeping away from us?

“The truth is that he can only run but he cannot hide. EFCC and other anti graft agencies will do their work at the appropriate time and all the lid will be blown open,” the statement said.
