Governor of
Rivers State, Nyesom Wike says he will resist any attempt by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate his officials and
adminstration.
Wike said
this while accusing the anti-graft agency of engaging in media trial in the prosecution
of corruption cases.
The Rivers
Governor made the accusation on Monday on Channels Television’s Road Map 2019.
According to
him, the masses were tired of the alleged persecution of some individuals.
He further
called for collaborative efforts in curbing what he described as impunity in
the anti-corruption war.
Wike added:
“EFCC are not working, they cannot do it on their own. That is the problem we
are having. You cannot just come and say this man is corrupt.
“Then the
whole world will come and say that they are doing their work. We are tired of
that.
“My
administration will resist attempts by the commission to investigate my
government or summon its officials.”
