Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria has lambasted Farida Waziri, former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over her claims recently.

Former President Jonathan however took to his official twitter handle to challenge the erstwhile EFCC boss: “If Farida is not telling lies, she should mention the person or company she was investigating and she was stopped, let the EFCC investigate. Crime has no status bar. If she can’t, then she was simply hired to attack me.”

If Farida is not telling lies she should mention the person or company she was investigating and she was stopped, let the @officialEFCC investigate. Crime has no statute bar. If she can’t then she was simply hired to attack me.

Nevertheless, Mrs. Farida Waziri had before now revealed that she would have been traumatised by now, given the ongoing revelation of alleged grand corruption that took place under Jonathan’s administration…

“I’m only glad that those things didn’t happen under my watch as the EFCC Chairman because it would have been too traumatic for me. And that is why if I see President Jonathan today, I will kneel down to thank him for the honour done me by removing me as the EFCC Chairman at the time he did.”

“My first strong premonition of what was ahead was when I began the probe of the monumental oil subsidy fraud going on then. I came to Lagos on a vital intelligence on the subsidy scam and as soon as I arrested a key culprit, I got a call from the Presidential Villa asking me to release the suspect, because, in their words, ‘he is our person’, but I refused to let him off and days after, I was removed from office.”
