Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has called on the
Federal Government to prevail on Ministers allegedly involved in corrupt
practices to step down to allow for investigation.
This is coming at a time when
two judges involved in the ongoing corrupt investigation by security agencies, Justice Okoro Inyang Ngwuta, alleged that Amaechi spoke to them on different occasions, to
influence judgments of two different elections.
Afenifere’s call was contained in a communique’ issued at the end of
its monthly meeting in Akure, the Ondo State capital and was read by the
Publicity Secretary of the organization, Mr. Yinka Odumakin .
According to the group, “For the ministers who have been mentioned
for attempting to pervert the course of justice , we are asking that
such ministers should step aside immediately as ministers of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“After that, they should go through due process of the law to either
ascertain their innocence or not, they should be punished according to
the laws of the land . So we cannot be saying only judges that have been
accused should be investigated. Ministers too, who have been accused
should step aside and face prosecution.
