Why EFCC Hasn’t Investigated Amaechi, Others – Presidency Explains

The Presidency on Monday has said
that President Muhammadu Buhari
does not give order to the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) on who to investigate.
This was disclosed by Femi Adesina,
Special Adviser on Media and
Publicity to Buhari while reacting to
questions on why the EFCC was yet to
open investigation on Minister of
Transport, Rotimi Amaechi and other
Minister alleged of corruption.
Femi was quoted as saying: “President
Buhari does not direct the EFCC. He
maintains a critical distance from all
the anti-graft agencies, and does not
dictate to them. So, if any Minister
has a tidy case built against him, the
EFCC does its job without waiting for
directives from the President”.
