    Nigerians Know That We Don’t Play Politics At EFCC – Olukoyede

    The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Ola Olukoyede, yesterday said Nigerians know that the commission was not established for political vendetta and has not been playing politics its operations.

    He also said there is no link between the investigation of former Delta State Governor  Ifeanyi Okowa and his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

    Olukoyede refuted the allegation that EFCC was being used to blackmail opposition figures to join the ruling party.

    The chairman, who spoke on television last night, said  the commission has focused on anti-graft war, assuring that there would be no deviation.

    He said: “We have used the instrumentality of the work to stimulate the economy. We looked inwards to see areas to firm up”.

    “It is important for me and my colleagues in the EFCC that if we’re going to fight corruption, we will fight it with integrity. We have been able to do away with about 27 bad eggs, who do not fit into the system”.

    “I’m very sure that Nigerians will attest to the fact that politics has not been introduced into the mandate of EFCC”.

    “Yes, people will read the meaning of whatever you do.  I am not a politician; and as far as I know, no member of my operative is deeply involved in politics.

    “So, we do our work in line with our mandate, which is investigating anyone involved in financial crimes.
