Northern Youth Group Accuses Tinubu Government of Using EFCC to Silence Critics

A Northern youth coalition has accused the Tinubu-led government of using the EFCC to target Northern opposition figures, including former Attorney General Abubakar Malami. They claim the actions are part of a broader plan to silence dissent and weaken opposition voices in Northern Nigeria.

The group alleges double standards in the anti-graft war, citing examples of aggressive pursuit of Northern opposition figures while Southern politicians facing corruption allegations are not treated similarly. The coalition also accuses the federal government of worsening poverty through its policies.
