Mu’azu Not Under Probe By EFCC – PDP

MUAZU-2-620x330The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dismissed reports in a section of the media that its newly appointed national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’az was under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The PDP, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, said that Mu’azu, a two-term governor of Bauchi State was only invited once by the anti-graft agency after he left office in 2007.

It said, “Our attention has been drawn to mischievous and misleading publications in some sections of the media purporting that our National Chairman is under investigation by the EFCC for alleged misappropriation and embezzlement of state funds during his tenure as the governor of Bauchi State.

“The said publications are completely false and baseless and part of the vicious scheme by the opponents of our party to distract our national chairman from his determination and commitment to rebuild and reposition the PDP as the pre-eminent party in Nigeria”.
