Atiku Abubakar and the African Democratic Congress went off on the EFCC for supposedly turning corruption investigations into political hit jobs after the agency yanked former Attorney General Abubakar Malami's bail. The ex-VP claims anti-graft operations abandoned their mission and morphed into straight-up witch hunts against political opponents.
ADC national publicity secretary Bolaji Abdullahi said Malami never broke any bail conditions, and the timing looked sketchy since it happened right after the guy showed up at a rally in Kebbi State. The party thinks the move was designed to kill his political activity instead of addressing actual legal violations.
Both Atiku and ADC argue the commission wrecked its credibility by weaponizing enforcement powers for narrow agendas. The EFCC already pushed back against claims that the revoked bail had anything to do with the political gathering.
