President Muhammadu Buhari has on Friday urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to steer clear of those who plan to use the commission for partisan politics.
The president called on the commission to focus on serving the needs of the nation at the unveiling of the EFCC Standard Operating Procedures, Policies, and Manuals, at the State House.
He advised the leaders and all operatives of the commission to shun the temptation of being influenced by political actors for personal gains or to score political points.
This was disclosed in a statement by Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.
“I must advise the leadership and operatives of this commission to resist the temptation of being used for partisan politics or be dragged into personal disputes. Your job is to serve the nation in its efforts to entrench good governance.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I am glad to note that the war against corruption, which is one of the cardinal objectives of this administration, is being strengthened through the institutionalization of operational procedures particularly as they form the building blocks of transparency and accountability in administration and public expenditure.”
