Please who knows what is happening to EFCC. Is the anti-corruption organization dead or sick?
If we agree that corruption is a major problem in Nigeria then the frontline anti-corruption agency should neither be tottering or sleepy?
It was his activities at the EFCC that threw hitherto obscure Nuhu Ribadu into local and international limelight. In fact, he rode on the back of that popularity (or call it notoriety) to contest the last presidential elections.
Ribadu's successor, Mrs Farida Waziri, was also not altogether quiet or inactive especially during the trial of the bank chiefs. The woman was contoversial but not passive.
However, Waziri's successor - honestly, I can't even recall his name - has been passive and placid. Does it mean there is nobody to be tried? Out of all the over 70 governors, over 100 ministers, over 1,000 local government chairmen, countless former commissioners and heads of parastatals? Are they all under immunity?
Is the present comatose state of the EFCC a deliberate policy of the present administration of the man heading it is just a misfit? Why can't the man be removed if he is a round peg in a square whole and this administration is serious about fighting corruption?
Is this how we would fold our arms until corruption runs Nigeria aground?
