EFCC Action Raised Optics Concerns, Not Illegality — Kenny Okolugbo Weighs In on Osun Controversy
Public affairs analyst and former Special Adviser to the Senate President, Kenny Okolugbo, has offered his perspective on the controversy surrounding the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and recent developments involving the Osun State Government.
According to him, President Bola Tinubu did not explicitly fault the EFCC’s actions but rather highlighted concerns about the timing and public perception of the move.
In his words, he said;
“The President didn’t say what the EFCC had done was wrong. He was clearly saying that the optics were concerning because it was just 10 days to the election,” In my opinion, the Osun State Government should have responded by seeking clarification from the EFCC and providing explanations for the withdrawals that had been flagged as suspicious. The governor had said he knew there would be a restriction on the accounts, which suggests he had prior information.”
