Following reports that Nigeria’s anti graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Thursday morning raided the residence of the immediate past Governor Of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, Nigerians have reacted.
The former governor had his home in Epe and that of his then chief of staff search, as he’s currently under corruption probe.
But Nigerians who are reacting to the development think there’s more to it than just fighting corruption – with majority suggesting APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was behind it.
One particular twitter user expressed that Tinubu, by the virtue of being Ambode’s political godfather, made him and can ruin him.
Tinubu made ambode….
Tinubu will destroy ambode….— QUDUS (@QdPaper) August 20, 2019

This fight against corruption is real & the Hurricane can sweep anyone irrespective of your party affiliations.
Kudos to the EFCC.
But they should do more.

This whole anti-corruption fight nw looks like a tool 2 fight opposition within party&outside party
Cos its seems once a politician is in the bad book of the cabal
Next thing he/she has a case with efcc
Efcc actions ain’t proactive but seems to react to pressure from cabal

EFCC looked the other way when we all saw on the TV the movement of bullion vans to a private home during one of the last elections.
Now the same EFCC has swung into action when prompted by a powerful masquerade. The gods are not to blame.
