APGA Reacts To Obiano’s Arrest By EFCC

Following the arrest of the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has described the arrest as a “politically-motivated witch-hunt”.

The anti-graft agency arrested Obiano on Thursday night at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos after handing over to Prof. Charles Soludo as Governor of Anambra State.

Reacting to the development on Saturday, the National Coordinator, APGA Media Warriors Forum, Evang Chinedu Obigwe, said the allegation that the former governor misappropriated N42bn, out of which N37bn was used to fund political activities was baseless and does not hold waters.

Obigwe said efforts by the EFCC to dent the hard-earned reputation of Obiano would not succeed as he remains innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law, adding that the EFCC had resorted to the use of fifth columnists.

According to him, as of today, Nigerians don’t have confidence in the anti-graft agency anymore, adding that “when they see the real corrupt politicians joining APC, they would turn to toothless bulldogs.

“But when an opposition figure is involved they will be barking as if the person committed any crime whereas they are doing the evil bidding of their paymasters.”
