Farida Waziri |
A controversial press statement released by
Farida Waziri, a former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC), relating to her tenure, has left her in a verbal tussle with
her predecessor, Nuhu Ribadu, and former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Mrs. Waziri reportedly threatened to
‘open-up‘ on Chief Obasanjo.
Well, it seems somebody might have decided to fire a pre-emptive strike as a
letter bearing a supposed EFCC logo and a signature purported to be that of
Mrs. Waziri has surfaced online setting a lot of tongues wagging about its
substance and authenticity.
The authenticity of the letter could
not be ascertained and several commentators have expressed their skepticism
that such a crudely versed letter to the former president soliciting a favour
could have emanated from the office of the former chairman of an anti-graft
body under late President Umar Musa Yar’Adua.
With this firmly in mind, many are
waiting patiently for the outspoken Waziri to dissociate herself from the
letter, clear the air on the issue, and sue those who might have engaged in
possibly forging her signature.

Did ex-EFCC boss, Farida Waziri really send OBJ this letter?
