Yusuf Bello/ Former Imo State governor and Senator representing Imo West, Rochas Okorocha on Thursday reported the EFCC to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Okorocha, who recently declared his intention to contest the 2023 presidency, appealed to the president to call the anti-graft agency to order and stop them from constantly harassing and intimidating him over allegations of a N2.9 billion fraud case.
In a chat with State House correspondents after a visit to the president, Senator Okorocha explained that there has been a court judgment and two court orders for different judgments issued at different forums, stopping the EFCC from further interrogating him.
He however lamented that the orders have gone unheeded by the anti-graft agency.
Okorocha described the EFCC’s actions as biased, pre-judgmental, and politically motivated.
He equally underscored the need to strengthen the ruling party from the grassroots.
According to him, the president has especially vowed that the days of politicians clinching power from Abuja, without getting requisite support from the masses at the grassroots, will no longer be tolerated at the All Progressives Congress (APC).
