Wike blasts EFCC, insists commission won’t investigate Rivers govt

Nyesom Wike

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike says he will resist any attempt by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate his officials and adminstration.

Wike said this while accusing the anti-graft agency of engaging in media trial in the prosecution of corruption cases.

The Rivers Governor made the accusation on Monday on Channels Television’s Road Map 2019.

According to him, the masses were tired of the alleged persecution of some individuals.

He further called for collaborative efforts in curbing what he described as impunity in the anti-corruption war.

Wike added: “EFCC are not working, they cannot do it on their own. That is the problem we are having. You cannot just come and say this man is corrupt.

Then the whole world will come and say that they are doing their work. We are tired of that.

“My administration will resist attempts by the commission to investigate my government or summon its officials.”
