ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi
In a statement on Monday, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, alleged that the EFCC’s recent actions, including reopening old cases and summoning opposition members, were politically motivated.
“The EFCC was created to be a fearless defender of the Nigerian people’s trust, applying the law evenly to all, friend or foe, ruling party or opposition. Today, that vision appears to have been compromised,” Abdullahi said.
The ADC claimed that the anti-graft agency had abandoned impartiality and now functioned like “a department of the APC, deployed to fight government critics and opposition figures.”
It also accused the EFCC of dropping investigations involving APC allies while relentlessly pursuing opposition leaders.
“Since a certain former governor defected to the APC with his state’s entire political machinery, the EFCC’s investigations into his administration have vanished from public view. Not a question has been asked. Not a document leaked. Not a single update. In today’s Nigeria, one’s guilt or innocence appears to depend on party membership, not evidence,” Abdullahi said.
EFCC Belongs To Nigerians Not APC
According to the ADC, the perceived partisanship was damaging the credibility of both the EFCC and Nigeria’s anti-corruption fight.
“The EFCC does not belong to the APC. It belongs to the Nigerian people. It is funded by taxpayers, not the ruling party,” Abdullahi stressed on behalf of the opposition party.
He warned that using public institutions as political enforcers undermines democracy and fuels public cynicism.
