Anger over Iyabo Obasanjo’s Contract Row, EFCC Action Urged! - The Times of Nigeria

Afenifere, the Yoruba socio-cultural and political organisation, and the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) have called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe the N3.5 billion contract controversy involving Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello.
A statement issued in Lagos yesterday by the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, noted that there had been allegations against former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration, adding that his children could not distinguish between Nigeria and Otta farm.
Afenifere said the Austrian scandal involving Iyabo was a reflected Obasanjo’s “weak moral standard”.
“We therefore call on Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately apprehend Iyabo and carry out a thorough investigation. If she is found out to have committed this heinous crime, she should be charged to court immediately and vacate her seat at the National Assembly,” the statement added.
CNPP accused President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua of shielding corrupt politicians and their accomplices.
In a statement in Abuja, the coalition asked why Yar’Adua was continuously pointing accusing fingers at vandals, on the embarrassing darkness the country is thrown into. It also queried why probes into Wilbros, Seimens, the Metropolitan Police, M. Schneider and Obasanjo-Bello scandals were emanating from abroad when there are anti-graft agencies in the country.
