The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, has been accused by Auwal Musa, the National Youth Leader of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP), of politically witch-hunting Rabiu Kwankwaso, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate.
According to Musa, there is no basis for the EFCC to look into Kwankwaso.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the youth leader claimed that it would be pointless to look into a “honest and hardworking” individual like Kwankwaso.

Musa emphasised that certain political opponents were behind the incident, which was intended to damage Kwankwaso’s reputation.
He said: “I challenge EFCC to come up with facts on the allegations; otherwise, we consider it an attempt to witch-hunt and victimise him.
“Why did the EFCC wait this long to investigate him, nine years after leaving office and also why investigate party affairs?
“Go to Kano and see what he did as governor, check his records as a Defence Minister and a Senator.”
Musa urged EFCC to disregard any petition written against Kwankwaso by any politician or any associate.
