The Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Peter Obi, has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to focus its attention on major corruption cases and other strategic priorities rather than pursuing social media activists.

Obi made the call through the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR), criticising the “needless harassment” of two social media commentators, Randy Peter and Mama Pee.

POMR spokesperson, Idris Zekeri, said that the EFCC remained a critical institution in Nigeria’s fight against corruption and should direct its resources towards addressing major financial crimes affecting the country.

Zekeri also says that excessive focus on social media-related matters could affect public perception of the agency and reduce citizens’ confidence in its anti-corruption efforts.
