THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has raised alarm that some governors and politicians that have been convicted of corruption have finalized preparations to depart the country before President-elect Bola Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29, 2023.
The governors-elect, senators-elect, members of the House of Representatives, and state Houses Assembly members-elect would all be sworn in on the same day.
The EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, revealed in a statement yesterday night that the EFCC is currently working with its overseas partners to frustrate the plans of the alleged governors and politicians to flee to other countries.
The commission promised that all political actors involved in corruption while in public office must be brought to justice.
The statement read partly, “Again, the Commission wishes to alert the public about plans by some of the alleged corrupt politically exposed persons to flee the country ahead of May 29.
“The Commission is working in close collaboration with its international partners to frustrate these escape plans and bring those involved to justice.”
