Atiku Accuses EFCC of Political Witch-Hunt, Says Malami’s Arrest Shows Selective Anti-Corruption War Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of engaging in politically motivated investigations aimed at weakening opposition parties.

He alleged that the EFCC operates as an appendage of the ruling APC, citing continued harassment of opposition figures while corruption cases involving government allies are ignored. Atiku further argued that Malami would not have been arrested had he defected to the APC, warning that the agency’s credibility is eroding due to political interference. He called on anti-graft institutions to restore independence and integrity to regain public trust.

Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi says Nigeria’s political elite have deliberately undermined the country’s progress by treating public office as a private enterprise rather than a national duty. Speaking at the 15th anniversary event of Enough is Enough Nigeria in Lagos, Sanusi said the political class routinely sidelined development opportunities because “public office is about themselves, their families, and people close to them, not about the country or the citizens”. “We have done enough damage and maybe we need to stop. And I think this is the point Omobola is making about missed opportunities. Not just missed opportunities, I think sometimes deliberately missed opportunities,” he said. “The reason we miss these opportunities is because we have people who think public office is about themselves, it’s about their families, it’s about people close to them, it’s not about the country. But public office is about the citizens.” Sanusi urged young Nigerians to reject what he described as a dysfunctional system and commit to building a nation that reflects its actual promise. He said the country’s current political and social structure is one defined by “ethnic rivalries, religious conflicts, and competition for personal aggrandizement”, all of which, he warned, limit national advancement.
