Former
Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mrs
Farida Waziri has challenged her predecessor in the commission Malam
Nuhu Ribadu to give account of billions of funds and assets recovered
from suspects under his watch as EFCC boss and stop using her name for
cheap political cards.
A statement signed by her Personal
Assistant, Ms Omolara Oluremi on Saturday quotes Mrs Waziri as saying
Ribadu had accused her of being ‘’part of his imaginary enemies who
frustrated the nation’s anti-graft war’’.
‘’My first inclination was to ignore
Nuhu since I know he is always obsessed with dropping my name into his
script anytime he needs public pity or political relevance but on a
second thought I felt I should advise him to leave me out of his
frustrations and face life.
‘’If after eight years of being removed
as EFCC Chairman, he is yet to move on with life, even after two
successive Chairmen had occupied the same seat and moved on with their
lives, then his problem may be psychogenic’’ she alleged.
According to her ‘’it was Ribadu’s lust
for power, inordinate ambition and desperation for political relevance
that continue to push him to dine and wine, and even enjoy the wealth of
those he had labeled as corrupt in yesteryears’’.
She advised Ribadu to ‘’stop being a weeping man’’, saying garrulity does not heal frustration or depression.
