Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Wednesday told the newly-confirmed chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ola Olukoyede, not to use him as an example in the anti-corruption fight.

Akpabio’s comment, which threw the entire House into laughter, came during the screening of Olukoyede by members of the Senate.

Olukoyede, while making a presentation on investigating a graft case, cited the senate president but suddenly stopped after noticing the mood of the members.

If we are investigating the Senate President for example…” Olukoyede said, but failed to complete his statement due to the mood of the lawmakers.

Reacting, Akpabio said, “I’m very glad that the nominee wants to use the Senate President as an example. But Mr nominee, leave the Senate President for now; look at this direction (pointing at the seats of opposition lawmakers).”

Subsequently, Olukoyede made his presentation without calling names. He said, “If you are fighting corruption, you become the enemy of everybody.”

Recall Akpabio has a pending 108.1 billion naira misappropriation case with the EFCC.

There are also speculations that Akpabio while serving as Minister of Niger Delta affairs attempted to bribe former EFCC chair, Bawa.
