The minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has reacted to the statement by governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara state, urging the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, to extend its investigation to the presidency and members of the Federal Executive Council.
Recall that during the week, governor Matawalle stated that, “investigation must be wholistic and not selective. It is in this respect that the recent invitations and pronouncement by the EFCC Chair is imbalance, incomplete, hypocritical and unnecessarily skewed. I demand that the EFCC chair extend similar invitations to officers of the Presidency and members of the Federal Executive Council, which is the highest tier of government in the country.”
Reacting to his statement, Lai Mohammed said, “The governor has the right to make suggestions, that is his own opinion.”
