By Myke Uzendu, AbujaThe African Democratic Congress (ADC) has welcomed President Bola Tinubu’s directive ordering the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to reverse the freezing of Osun State Government accounts but has challenged the President to clarify his claim that the action was based on a court order. The ADC noted that throughout the controversy surrounding the freezing of the accounts, the EFCC consistently defended its action as an exercise of its statutory powers and preventive mandate, without making any reference to a court order. “It is either the President was misinformed or he deliberately misrepresented the facts. The ADC also argued that President Tinubu’s disclosure that he directed the EFCC to discontinue the proceedings contradicted repeated claims that anti-corruption agencies operate independently of the Presidency. The ADC insisted that the controversy had further highlighted the need for transparency and institutional independence in the operations of federal law enforcement agencies.
