‘Yar’Adua’s govt is on course’ - Nigerian Tribune

Professor Abdullahi Michael, a former governorship aspirant in Kogi State, speaks with Bode Adewumi on political developments in the state and other national issues. Excerpts:

Many people have criticised President Umaru Yar’Adua regarding recent happenings in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). What is your view about this?
