The anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Friday said it has uncovered plans by some governors and other public office holders, accused of corruption, to flee the country before the May 29, 2023, when their tenure in office will expire.
In a statement by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, the commission, however, said it is presently working in collaboration with some foreign partners to frustrate their plans.
Vowing to bring all corrupt public holders to justice, the EFCC in the statement said: “Again, the Commission wishes to alert the public about plans by some of the alleged corrupt politically exposed persons to flee the country ahead of May 29.
“The Commission is working in close collaboration with its international partners to frustrate these escape plans and bring those involved to justice.”
The President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the governors-elect, senators-elect, the newly elected House of Representatives and state Houses of Assembly will be inaugurated on May 29, 2023.
