Ohakim: I spent less than five hours with EFCC

Former Governor Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State, on Thursday, declared that his political enemies would continue to fail in their satanic desperation to tarnish his image.
He spoke in Abuja after leaving the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to his house in Asokoro, declaring that he spent less than five hours with the anti-graft agency.
The former governor expressed surprise that overzealous officials of the agency could go ahead to invade his house “with media men to score cheap points and achieve some credibility stunts”.
He said having left office in 2011, he was investigated by the EFCC “on the same charges as the present one, as a result of the same frivolous petition sponsored by enemies of Imo State and Igboland”.
Ohakim declared his readiness to honour any invitation extended to him by all legitimate agencies of government, since he does not have any skeletons in his cupboard.
He warned, however, that all public officials, “especially those charged with the sensitive responsibility of fighting graft must not allow themselves to be used as pawns by desperate political renegades who cling to the smallest straw for political survival and relevance”.
