ACCORD Party has called for the immediate resignation of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, following President Bola Tinubu’s directive ordering the EFCC to unfreeze the Osun State Government’s accounts.
He said the party had lost confidence in the current leadership of the EFCC, accusing the commission of exhibiting political bias in the lead-up to the August 15 governorship election in Osun State.
He added that Olukoyede should toe the path of honour by resigning, insisting that Tinubu should dismiss him if he failed to do so.
Mgbudem urged security agencies, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other institutions involved in the Osun election to remain neutral and discharge their constitutional responsibilities professionally.
Similar sentiments were echoed on Facebook, where several users questioned the EFCC chairman’s leadership following Tinubu’s directive reversing the commission’s action.
