#EFCC Chairman Urges Nigerians to Unite Against Corruption

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has called on Nigerians to actively support the fight against corruption rather than defending corrupt leaders when they face prosecution.

Speaking in Abuja during a visit by officials of the Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC), led by Chris Olukolade, Olukoyede expressed concern over the contradiction in public attitude. He noted that while many Nigerians complain about corruption, they often rally behind individuals facing corruption charges.

“Everyone says corruption is destroying our system, yet when we investigate and prosecute high-profile cases, the same people take to the streets in support of those accused,” he said. “This fight should be a collective effort.”

Olukoyede emphasized that tackling corruption is key to national development and urged citizens to collaborate with the government in promoting integrity and accountability. He reiterated the EFCC’s commitment to combating financial crimes within the framework of the law.

The EFCC chairman also revealed plans to partner with the CCC and other organizations to enhance public awareness and strategic communication on corruption-related issues.
