I won’t run from EFCC, Wike declares

Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike claims he won’t step down on May 29, 2023, in order to “escape” the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).  If the anti-graft agency visits his government to investigate, the governor and strongman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stated he has nothing to fear.
On May 29, 2023, Wike’s eight-year, two-term administration will come to an end. He has instructed Siminlalayi Fubara, the governor-elect of Rivers State, to take the EFCC to see the various projects he has completed in Rivers.
He spoke today at the commissioning of Rumuigbo Internal Road Network in the Obio/Akpor Local Government Area in the oil-rich South-South state.

The governor said, “I am happy I am leaving office fulfilled. I am leaving the office very well. I’m not leaving office to run away so that EFCC would not come; I’m leaving office and I will stay here; I am not going anywhere. When the EFCC come, go and show them the projects.”

The governor said he desired a Southern President and a successor and he got both. EFCC Chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa, had reportedly said the commission would go after “corrupt” governors at the expiration of their constitutional immunity on May 29, 2023.

The anti-graft commission had in the past probed and convicted some former governors and is currently investigating some ex-governors over allegations of misappropriation of funds
