”Our judges must be just and carry the ideals that this country stands for by ensuring that the laws are interpreted properly for all and not to favour few individuals.
”This is the first the chairman of EFCC will threaten to resign if the right thing is not done, and I strongly feel that he needs the support of everyone to free this country of corruption,” he added.
