The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has granted former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, an administrative bail after questioning him over alleged financial misconduct.
Tambuwal, who also served as Speaker of the House of Representatives, is accused of fraudulently withdrawing about N189 billion during his tenure as governor.
Meanwhile the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, peter obi,in a post on his verified X account on Tuesday, described Tambuwal’s arrest as a reminder of the “existing contradiction” in the country’s anti-graft efforts.
Obi said that Nigeria’s anti-graft must be sincere and transparent in order to be effective, saying that the operatives should be guided by their conscience and the rule of law if they hope to achieve much in wiping out corruption in our society.
