The renewed fight against corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) seems as if it will not be ending soon as the anti-graft agencies have beamed their searchlight on ex-governors and ministers who have corruption cases hanging around their necks.

EFCC sources told LEADERSHIP that lawyers of some of the ex-governors are already preparing for renewed court cases as their clients have been notified of EFCC’s plans.

The sources said the EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, is ready to review all abandoned cases, and had since his assumption of office reappointed investigators to take up the several probes.

Following a protest by members of the Zamfara Alternative Forum at the commission’s headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, EFCC’s acting director of public affairs, Wilson Uwujaren, had told journalists that all high-profile cases would be investigated.

Notable among the governors whose cases are currently under scrutiny are former governors of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani and Sullivan Chime; former Ekiti State governors, Kayode Fayemi and Ayo Fayose; former Nasarawa State governor, Abdullahi Adamu; former Abia State governors, Theodore Orji and Orji Uzor Kalu; former Gombe State governor, Danjuma Goje; former Sokoto State governor, Aliyu Wamako; former Bayelsa State governor, Timipre Sylva and former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido.
