The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has reacted to an interview granted by the spokesperson of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Paul Ibe, where he made contemptuous remarks against the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Solicitor General of the Federation.

Special Assistant to the President on Communication & Publicity, Office of the AGF/Minister of Justice, Kamarudeen Ogundele, in a statement, described the allegation as “from the pit of hell, and at best, a figment of imagination” of Mr. Ibe. Ogundele said the EFCC chairman and the Solicitor General of the Federation never met any serving or former governor as alleged by Mr. Ibe.

“We know as a fact that the EFCC chairman and the Solicitor General of the Federation never met any serving or former governor as alleged by him,” Ogundele stated. Kamarudeen Ogundele appealed to the members of the public to disregard the insinuation, describing it as a feeble attempt to discredit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration’s fight against corruption.

“The President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration will continue to uphold the rule of law and will not falter in the fight against corruption no matter whose ox is gored,” Ogundele added. Kamarudeen Ogundele emphasized the administration’s commitment to the rule of law and the fight against corruption.
