The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has charged the new Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa, to re-engineer and restore professionalism in the anti-graft agency.
In a statement issued in Abuja, on Sunday, by Kola Ologbondiyan National Publicity Secretary, the party urged Bawa to avoid the pitfalls of his immediate predecessor in office, “by resisting all-partisan pressures to use the agency as a tool for political persecution, harassment of dissenting voices, settling of personal scores as well as for personal enrichment, as witnessed under the last chairman.”
The party noted that such tendencies eroded professionalism in the EFCC, compromised its activities and diminished the public confidence with regard to fairness, impartiality and even-handedness in the handling of cases.
