The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa, has said that he will resign if he is pressured to compromise.
The EFCC boss made this known this on Friday, March 26, 2021, when he featured in a Nigerian Television Authority interview programme One-on-One.
“We are in the habit of worshipping people that have money in the society, but never bother to ask questions about their source of income. In winning the fight against corruption, we are engaging all stakeholders including religious leaders, community leaders and others.
“We are going to embark on massive public enlightenment to sensitise people on the need to shun corruption in all its forms.I will continue to do what is right.
“The Commission under my watch will continue to abide by the rule of law. If anybody asks me to do anything contrary to my conscience or against the rule of law, I will resign my appointment.”
He also stated that fighting corruption was an arduous task that should not be left in the hands of EFCC alone and urged Nigerians to stop glorifying corruption and corrupt people in the society.
