Dino Melaye Denounces Petition Against Atiku Abubakar
Senator Dino Melaye criticized a recent petition submitted to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) by former House of Representatives member Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma, which calls for an investigation into alleged financial crimes involving Atiku Abubakar, the 2027 presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Agbonayinma's petition alleges that the EFCC previously investigated Atiku for grand corruption between 2005 and 2006.
He has given the EFCC a 14-day ultimatum to act on the petition, threatening legal action if they do not. In response, Melaye labeled the petition as shameful, pointing out that it attempts to resurrect a case that was dismissed over ten years ago.
He questioned Agbonayinma's credibility, citing his unstable political affiliations, having switched parties multiple times, and described him as "myopic and disorganized.".
