Farida fires back at Ribadu

Farida Waziri, former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has described her predecessor, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, as somebody ‘suffering from delusions of grandeur.’

“He is talking rubbish! Nigerians can differentiate between someone who left about 10 high profile cases and another who took over 50 high profile cases to court, I mean the record is there for anyone who cares to check”, Waziri said through her aide.

Highlighting her achievements while in office, Waziri said, “We arraigned former governor of Ogun State Otunba Gbenga Daniel; his Oyo counterpart Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala; Alhaji Akwe Doma of Nasarawa State and Danjuma Goje of Gombe State, among others. The single largest recovery of over N200 billion in assets and funds was gotten from a corrupt commercial bank executive, so how can anybody in his right mind say we brought EFCC to its knees”.

Ribadu, the pioneer Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has accused his immediate successor, Farida Waziri and former Delta State governor, James Ibori of bringing the anti-graft agency to its knees by destroying all the effort put in place in the fight against corruption.
