Yahaya Bello Guys Cringe at Asking Tinubu for Assist as Anti-corruption struggle Rocks APC

Inside days of one another, Yahaya Bello and Abdullahi Ganduje had a run in with two anti-corruption companies in Nigeria. If these incidents say something about President Bola Tinubu’s zeal to nuke down corruption, it isn’t a lot.

What hits critics straight is the selectivity of the struggle. The previous Kogi governor is bound deadmeat. However Kano’s ex- governor goes to get many of the backwind he wants.

The EFCC stormed Bello’s Abuja house Wednesday, and laid siege to it. His media aides claimed it was unlawful as a result of a Lokoja court docket injunction limiting the company nonetheless stands.

“Moreover, judgment within the substantive case between Alhaji Yahaya Bello and the EFCC shall be delivered at 12 midday at this time in Lokoja,” the aides stated in a press assertion.

The fee has but to react to this. Not even to disprove the Bello camp declare that the company now works for individuals who need Bello’s scalp.

The ruling APC hasn’t responded both. In contrast to what it did at each the ward and the nationwide ranges when its chairman Ganduje bought the court docket order to face trial on bribery expenses.

Efforts by the parish-pump politicians at Ganduje’s ward to sack him as a celebration member failed—regardless of a court docket order upholding it. A former nationwide vice chairman additionally proposed to Tinubu to make the Ganduje case a sweetheart take care of Kano Gov. Kabir Yusuff.

Bello and his males couldn’t miss this cherry-picking occurring. Phrase, nevertheless, failed them.

“We’re conscious of the entire dedication of President Bola Tinubu’s present administration to the rule of regulation,” the assertion learn. However blended into the good phrases had been suspicions.

They stated they will say categorically that the EFCC management isn’t serving their paymaster any longer.

No matter, the White Lion of Kogi has absolutely bought right into a long-running duel with the anti-corruption eagle. The prosecution might pack as a lot crackers as N84 billion of Kogi’s monies the fee stated Bello stole.
