Edo State Governor, Com. Adams
Oshiomhole yesterday at a townhall meeting in Benin has said he is preparing to
drag EFCC to court for allegedly abandoning its constitutional role and
becoming a ‘political commission’.
The Governor stated this while
trying to query the Commission’s right in investigating the impeachment of a deputy speaker in the state.
“Our own EFCC is now Economic
Financial and alleged Political Crimes. I am still unable to understand how
EFCC assumed responsibility to investigate impeachment of a Deputy Speaker.
That is how far the EFCC has degenerated.
“When armed robbers are the ones
looking for thieves then the story will change. We are watching how things will
go. We have assembled a legal team to take EFCC to court to challenge their
authority to become a political commission. We will fight them on our feet and
never beg them on our knees. We will show them respect but never shall we
display an act of cowardice. We want to see how far they can go. The greatest
weapon is to deliver on good governance,” he said.
