Youth coalition fault call for EFCC chairman's removal, says it's handiwork of corrupt elements

From Ismail Adebayo, Birnin Kebbi 

A group under the auspices of the Nigerian Youth Alliance Against Corruption and Money Laundering (NYAACML) has condemned the protest and called for the removal of the EFCC Chairman,  Abdulrasheed Bawa.

The youth at a press conference addressed by its National Coordinator, Alhaji NasiruTurakin Masama in Birnin-Kebbi said the call for the removal of Mr. Bawa was not only unnecessary but absolutely uncalled for at this period when corruption is high among the top echelon in the Nigeria society.

The National Coordinator, flanked by the Secretary, Comrade Usman Mohammed Anache, Zonal Coordinator, Shehu Isah S/Kudu, and the Women Coordinator for Kebbi State, Hajia Unun Umaru described the EFCC Chairman as a young man whose performance in office has been very impressive considering the number of seizures and arrest he has made for the country.

Alhaji Masama pointed out that under the leadership of the EFCC Chairman, he has recovered more than N500bn, more than £1m, and more than €160,000 among other monies he recovered and handed over to the Federal  Government.

"It is however disturbing that a young man of this caliber can be brought to public ridicule because he is performing his duties as expected, and as such looters of Nigeria's treasury must fight him back by employing their cronies in the CSOs to bring his hard work to disrepute.

"We, therefore, called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore the calls by these corrupt elements on the streets, we also call on the Chairman of the EFCC and his Staff to remain focused and not be distracted by these unpatriotic elements calling for the stoppage of the anti-corruption war in Nigeria," he said
