Ola Olukoyede, the head of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), says he is committed to implementing President Bola Tinubu’s ambitious goals for a better Nigeria.
According to a statement released by the anti-graft agency on Friday, Mr Olukoyede reported this on Wednesday during a visit to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), in Ile-Ife.
“Let me state this clearly: all that I do in the course of discharging my duties as a public servant is not to witch-hunt anybody and not for any personal reasons but to ensure that the grand strategic plans of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu towards a better Nigeria are achieved” , stated Olukoyede.
Mr Olukoyede stated that the anti-graft agency under his supervision has received backing from the federal government, and that Mr Tinubu does not interfere with their actions and operations.
“Since I was appointed the chairman of the EFCC, the president has never called me to stop, impose, dictate or prescribe any directive as regards the affairs or activities of the commission, rather the anti-graft agency has so far enjoyed adequate support needed from the federal government towards achieving the mandate of the commission,” said Olukoyede.
The monarch who hosted Mr. Olukoyede was quoted as stating, “This shows that truly, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands to achieve a corrupt-free nation, and we all must support him by contributing our quotas.”
