OBJ says EFCC is a toothless Bulldog

There are insinuations that the former President is attacking the EFCC based on reports that the agency is planning to re-open the Halliburton case.

 

Obasanjo said the anti-graft agency fared well during the tenure of Nuhu Ribadu, adding that the agency is now a toothless Bulldog.

OBJ said “Honestly, when Nuhu was handling EFCC, he handled it in such a way that people coined the saying that ‘the beginning of wisdom is the fear of Nuhu Ribadu’ and then the thing you will ask is how did we go down? How did we lose that?”

Adding that “Nuhu Ribadu is still here, he is still alive, the institution we started together is still there, but what made the institution to become a toothless bulldog? What? And that’s the matter we have to keep looking at, so that we don’t take two steps forward, one step aside and three steps back.”
