“Atiku’s Camp On Matawalle’s $2bn Allegation” – Don’t Blackmail EFCC Chairman

Daniel Bwala, the media aide of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has reacted to the allegations levelled against Abdulrasheed Bawa, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, by Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara.

Bwala stated that Matawalle is attempting to blackmail the EFCC boss.

He made the remark while reacting to the allegation against Bawa by Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State.

Matawalle had accused Bawa of begging him for $2 million.

In an interview with BBC Hausa, the governor claimed he was being investigated because he “didn’t offer the EFCC chairperson the money he requested from him.”

The EFCC, however, dismissed the claim, stressing that it would not be drawn into a mud fight with a suspect under its investigation for corruption and unconscionable pillage of the resources of his state.

Reacting to the development, Bwala said the attempt to blackmail Bawa was shameful.
