Atiku claims Tambuwal’s arrest by the EFCC was politically motivated.

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed concerns over the detention of a former governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), alleging that it is politically motivated. 

Atiku accused the President Bola Tinubu-led administration of using the EFCC to harass and weaken the opposition, coercing leaders into joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Atiku, who played a role in the establishment of the EFCC, condemned what he sees as the agency's partisan use, warning that it undermines institutional integrity and encourages corruption, a trend, which he said, could lead to a one-party dictatorship.

He urged Nigerians, civil society, and the international community to condemn the politicization of the anti-graft fight, assuring that his camp will not succumb to these anti-democratic efforts aimed at creating a one-party system.
