The embattled
former Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, on Wednesday blasted the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] for declaring him and his son
wanted; he described the anti-graft agency’s latest ambush on him as the last
kicks of a dying horse, saying President Goodluck Jonathan, will soon be kicked
out of office.
Mr. Nyako who
spoke to PREMIUM TIMES through his media assistant, Ahmed Sajoh, also noted
that the Jonathan administration is intimidated by the soaring support he
(Nyako) has continued to get even after he left office.
“I am not aware
of being declared wanted. But that is good,” Mr. Nyako said.
“If you are
wanted by a rouge system, it means you are a good person. Has this government
gone after anybody that is bad? They only run after the good people
and allow the bad people to roam around them, live happily and enjoy whatever
bad things they are doing.”
Mr. Nyako said
he is not surprised at the latest action of the EFCC and noted that many more
Nigerians will be declared wanted by the government.
He argued that
the government is being intimidated by the mammoth crowd that turned out for
the All Progressives Congress, APC, rally in Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
According to
him, the Jonathan government is afraid that even when he (Nyako) was no longer
in office, the people of Adamawa State still love and support him.
He drew
attention to how the crowd went wild with dancing when one of the songs
eulogising the former governor was played at the APC rally in Yola, saying no
amount of blackmail can stop the people from loving Mr. Nyako.
“When the time
comes for them to be declared wanted nobody will sympathise with them,” he
concluded.
