President Muhammadu Buhari

Akpodiete, a legal practitioner, said this while delivering a paper at a conference on good governance in Washington DC, USA.

He said: “It’s on record that some former public officials escaped through plea deals, while some are still fugitives. For the first time, the Federal Government, through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, achieved a lot.”

On his presidential ambition, Akpodiete said it was normal that he ran against the president in the primary, but was barred by his “party’s ridiculous nomination fees.”
