The pioneer chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , Nuhu Ribadu, has said Nigerian governors are often subject of corruption probes because they control a large chunk of resources and exercise power in their states.
He reminded the governors that there was no way, as governors, they could escape probe adding that probes could come even from persons they anoint, as experienced in the past. The former EFCC chairman said governors are under the searchlight because of global attention on corruption by politically exposed persons.He said because of Nigeria’s unitary policing model, the enforcement of the anti-graft laws are vested in the federal government.
The way out for the governors, according to Mr Ribadu, is to embark on self-preservation on how to leave their office with their integrity intact. Mr Ribadu urged the governors to emulate President Muhammadu Buhari in separating governance from personal interests.
