THE immediate past Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has challenged controversial online platform, Sahara Reporters and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to publish the names of the directors and signatories to the alleged Sylvan McNamara Limited account and also state when the said money was paid instead of demonising and deceiving Nigerians with vague, contrived and distorted information.
Obanikoro said he is appalled by the public political persecution embarked upon by these agencies noting that there is nowhere in the world where investigations are conducted using the pages of the newspapers.
In a signed statement issued yesterday by his Media Aide, Mr. Jonathan Eze, the former minister queried the “wisdom and logic of bandying figures and associating same with his sons who are thorough bred professionals in their own rights.” He reminded the EFCC and the online media platform that the “court of law remains the judicial institution for trying cases and not whipping sentiments in order to give the dog a bad name and hang it.”
Eze noted that Sahara Reporters is propagating these lies and propaganda because of the legal cases instituted against it by the former minister for misleading the public and defaming his hard earned name and reputation having served the nation in various capacities with enviable untainted records of public service.
