It's is only one of the reasons that made sense! That the AG should not have taken the Unilateral decision without due consultation with him as the Governor of the state. That I agree!

But the below, I do not agree!


Now, if you are current, you might have heard that the legality or the extent of the powers of the VIO was challenged in the court of law despite the fact the VIO is one of the Agency that HELPS IN ENSURING ROAD SAFTEY ! And the court made pronouncement.

The fact EFCC and ICPC sometimes helps in holding accountable those who embezzled state funds does not mean the legality of the law setting up and or the extent of their powers cannot be challenged in the court of law.
If the govs mean well, they could have written to NASS through their senators for an amendment to the Acts and then a correction of the procedure instead of this clandestine attempt to disband this agencies.
For VIO, what is being challenged is their operational mandate especially as its relates with that of FRSC and not the legality of their existence.
It is more instructive that it's Yahaya Bello's state that stayed your in the face of his issues with efcc

He loses case against the authentic party structure in the state and on same day, suddenly remembers his AG is in court against EFCC without his authorization.

My understanding is that this AG has been warning him against pursing the part of fighting the party structure in the court.

I smell a rat.

This is an appointment for managing legal and justice in the state. Not the state chief Judge. The president can also fire AGF. Not supreme court justice

While the agent must always inform his principal on such issues (and the AG WAS WRONG) the reason Mr. Governor has adduced for not challenging the legality of the EFCC is watery. That a fake police officer helped you apprehend a thief and recover money does not legalize his status.

This goes to the root of the agency's legality and might help it eventually in its independence and effectiveness. Let the right thing be done. In law it is said that nothing can stand on nothing.
The priority of Mr. Governor is not issues bothering on legality but rather he wants the much-needed embezzled money recovered.
His reason is therefore not watery. His priorities are clearly defined...not like Tinubu's directionless policies

Why would the governors write the national assembly? It is common knowledge that when there's is a disagreement between the state and the FG about and extant law and or the legality or interpretation of a law as enshrined in the constitution, the court is where you go to and not the national assembly.

Need also remind you that the operational mandate of the Efcc and the NFIU is a subject of contention as regard the provisions of the constitution in the ongoing case at the supreme court?

Why should there be a dispute about an anti-corruption agency in one of the most corrupt countries in the world if not that the govs are trying to get away with corruption. I hope you know that the constitution lists fighting corruption as one of the primary purposes of govt. This is not the first time the states are fighting efcc on grounds of legality. Their first attempt was to claim that efcc is a product of federal laws and therefore can't apply to states.
The point is if indeed the govs have the interest of fighting corruption at heart as required of them by the constitution which is non-disputable, they should have written through their senators and reps to amend the efcc act. The NASS is a constituent of states. We all know they want to kill efcc and icpc so they can be able to loot and get away with it

They should be investigated. Their accounts etc and illicit transfer of money to him or relatives should be checked. The governors or their agents have bribed him to act the way they did.
Others and Agbakoba should be probed

Dude was sacrificed for some other reasons. A legal action of this magnitude could not have gone ahead without the prior knowledge of the governor. Impossible!

The only lone sensible voice. Nigerians don't just understand legality. No one is fighting EFCC but what some of us are saying is that its existence should be regularized.

Are you aware that the police is constitutionally empowered to recover embezzled monies? Are you also aware that even the EFCC workforce are constituted in part with police officers?

You're own argument is watery! Efcc is still legal until the court says otherwise. They were commissioned into law by the national assembly hence you can't equate them with a fake police. Efcc are police members.
Section 15(5) and 2(4) of our constitution mandate Nigeria as a country to fight crime. Efcc was established on this mandate.
State can constitute their own agency, just like Kano state. ICPC has won a similar case base on this hence Efcc will win theirs too.

Please who is the force constitutionally backed by the state to fight crime? Is fraud and embezzlement a crime? Have you heard of Special Fraud Unit under the NPF? Is an economic crime not under the purview of the NPF being.... A CRIME? Are you aware that under the law NPF can override Road Safety for instance? Even this EFCC can be overtaken in court by the AGF.

Look these agencies were created outside the constitution to aid the NPF and can only draw power and legality from the constitution hence the process empowering them must be without fault. Is that so hard for you to grab that that is my point oga solid argument?
