The sacked chairman of EFCC, Mrs Farida Waziri, is set to open up on her troubled tenure in the commission. And as many Nigerians would expect, the decision is reportedly causing jitters among several highly placed politicians in and out of government.
Emissaries were said to have been sent to her to dissuade her from opening up on what many in the government circles felt would be a can of worms if she talked about the undercurrents that characterized the execution of her assignments.
It was gathered that the corruption war against her person by her traducers had firmed her resolve to speak up on many issues Nigerians are not aware of.
A source who's very close to her at the moment said she would also tell Nigerians that the celebration by her traducers would be short-lived because the anti-corruption war had been ingrained in the minds of people and whether she was in the saddle or not, corrupt persons who are celebrating her exit now would still be caught up by justice.
“She would also assure the people that the lasting victory in the war against corruption belongs to them and the corrupt, despite their perceived victory against her, would not go unpunished,” the source added.
It was also learnt that some of the politically-exposed persons she had put on trial had been sending threat messages to her, that they had not finished with her, even after seeing her back from the commission.
She might be compelled, according to the source, to also speak on the trial of former governors of the ruling party, who were alleged to have been in the first line of attack against her and lobbied the presidency to fire her.
While in office, she had always complained about pressure from above in the handling of certain high-profile alleged corruption cases. All things being equal, she would be opening up soon on those powerful forces that were putting pressure on her to handle some corruption cases with kids’ glove.
