EFCC, APC godfathers at war over me – Iyiola OmisoreBy Sylvester Ugwuanyi on June 26, 2016

One-time Peo­ples Democratic Party, PDP gov­ernorship candidate in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore has claimed that operatives of the Eco­nomic and Financial Crimes Com­mission, EFCC, and their APC godfathers are split over the allegation of corruption against him, insisting that he did not collect any money from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Omisore, who is alleged to have col­lected N1.3 billion from the office of the former NSA, is currently in court with the EFCC over the matter.

In a statement issued yesterday, the former chairman, Senate Com­mittee on Appropriation told the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to “go search for crooks, election riggers and government money embez­zlers in your party.”


According to the erstwhile Osun State deputy governor, “EFCC operatives are in disagree­ment with their political APC god­fathers. That is one of the reasons for dodging court summons as I ex­posed on AIT on Thursday. Nigeri­ans are hereby alerted by the killer democracy, abuse of human rights and utter disrespect for the rule of law by the Buhari administration on illegal arrests, backdoor deten­tion warrants and tyranny!

“I want to assure Nigerians, especially suf­fering Osun masses that I won’t abandon them even in the face of persecution! I didn’t take money from Dasuki! Let my peace be! Go search for crooks, election riggers and government money embez­zlers in your party.”

He insisted that he did not stash a whopping sum of N1.3 billion, being money collected from the Office of the National Security Ad­viser, ONSA, in his bank account, dismissing the rumours making rounds as sheer blackmail.

The PDP chieftain claimed that the anti-graft body had been using falsehood to harass him, stressing that it was evident in the way the latter had said he at one time took N700m and later changed the figure to N1.3billion.


He accused the EFCC of dodging court summons in the suit he filed against it, an indication, that the body was not bold enough to stand up to its claims.

Omisore continued, “EFCC won’t stop at any height to blackmail the op­position. My AIT (African Inde­pendent Television) programme has attracted another falsehood to harass me! Only yesterday morning, I accused EFCC of dodging court summons! I didn’t collect any money from ONSA. I have not had any dealings with the ONSA. Last time, it was N700 million, to­day it’s N1.3billion.”
