“Speaking to journalists, Agbonayinma said the petition seeks to revisit an investigation previously handled under former EFCC Chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, involving Atiku, arguing the matter deserves renewed attention in the interest of accountability and rule of law.”
“I want to thank Nigerians, the EFCC and those praying for me in this struggle. The laws are meant for both the rich and the poor. After the EFCC has done a fantastic job, it should not be kept under the table,”
He described reporting alleged wrongdoing as a constitutional responsibility, insisting no one is above the law.
Agbonayinma also disclosed that he had written to United States President Donald Trump on the allegations, calling for attention to the matter.
