While Abdulrasheed Bawa’s performance before the Senate might have rekindled some people’s hope in the EFCC, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has cautioned him against possible pitfalls.
On Tuesday,
Nigeria’s Senate confirmed Mr Bawa, a trained EFCC investigator, as the substantive chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) after over two hours of rigorous screening exercise.
The 40-year-old Mr Bawa is not only the youngest but also the first non-police officer to head the anti-graft agency since its establishment.
Against the backdrop of his mutual relationship with top government officials, the PDP, in a statement on Sunday night, warned the new EFCC boss to ‘avoid pitfalls’ and ‘partisan pressures’ which allegedly altered his immediate predecessor’s time in office.
