APGA Describes Obiano’s Arrest As Politically Motivated
Following the arrest of the immediate past Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has described the arrest as a “politically-motivated witch-hunt”.
Daily Independent had earlier reported that the anti-graft agency arrested Obiano on Thursday night at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos after handing over to Prof. Charles Soludo as Governor of Anambra State.
Reacting to the development on Saturday, the National Coordinator, APGA Media Warriors Forum, Evang Chinedu Obigwe, said the allegation that the former governor misappropriated N42bn, out of which N37bn was used to fund political activities was baseless and does not hold waters.
According to him, as of today, Nigerians don’t have confidence in the anti-graft agency anymore, adding that “when they see the real corrupt politicians joining APC, they would turn to toothless bulldogs.
“But when an opposition figure is involved they will be barking as if the person committed any crime whereas they are doing the evil bidding of their paymasters.”
