The Accord Party has commended President Bola Tinubu for directing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to unfreeze the Osun State Government’s bank accounts, while demanding the immediate resignation of the EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede.
The party said that if the EFCC chairman failed to resign, Tinubu should sack him to restore the integrity of the anti-graft agency.
The National Chairman of Accord, Chief Maxwell Mgbudem, made the demands on Friday at a world press conference held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Mgbudem said the party welcomed Tinubu’s intervention following the EFCC’s directive to freeze the state government’s accounts, describing the President’s action as timely.
He said, “Accord welcomes President Tinubu’s timely intervention in this critical national issue and urges security agencies, anti-graft commissions, the electoral umpire and relevant democratic institutions to strictly abide by their rules of engagement, statutory duties and democratic ethics.”
