A Northern group, Arewa Youth Council for Justice has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to drop the wanted tag on socialite and businesswoman, Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu.

Speaking yesterday in Abuja the national president and the national secretary of the group, Isak Mammud and Timothy Isaiah, respectively, declared that the intendment of the EFCC action was to ridicule Achimugu in order to have her implicate both governor of Lagos State Babajide Sanwo-Olu and former vice president Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

While describing Achimugu as a known business and internationally renowned socialite, the Northern group urged the EFCC to drop the ‘wanted tag’ on her.

They noted that, “this is nothing different but a rehearsal of the earlier claims that funds were provided to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar through her. This has been refuted by both the Lagos State Governor and Alhaji Abubakar.”

The group said the allegations against her were all about a desperate plot by some politicians ahead of the 2027 general elections.

It could be recalled that the EFCC, through its Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, declared Achimugu wanted over alleged money laundering.

Prior to this, allegations had also emerged that Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, through Achimugu provided campaign funds for former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, an allegation denied vehemently by both parties.

The Arewa youth group sees the follow-up development as a ploy to implicate both Sanwo-Olu and Atiku Abubakar.

While describing Achimugu as a known business and internationally renowned socialite, the Northern group urged the EFCC to drop the ‘wanted tag’ on her.

They noted that, “this is nothing different but a rehearsal of the earlier claims that funds were provided to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar through her. This has been refuted by both the Lagos State Governor and Alhaji Abubakar.

“This idea of EFCC turning a tool for political witch-hunting should end; we see no reason why a successful woman, who has brought hope to several homes, should be used as an object of a political chess game ahead of the 2027 general election.

“It is even more worrisome considering the haste to which she was declared wanted by the commission.

“We urge the Chairman of the EFCC to resist undue pressure and work for Nigerians and not as a willing tool in the hands of politicians who are desperate to silence others ahead of the 2027 general elections,” the group said.
