WHO IS AFTER BUHARI'S AIDE OKOI OBONO-OBLA?

News breaking out suggest that Chairman of  Special Presidential Investigating Panel on Public Asset Recovery  Barrister Okoi Obono Obla is in fresh trouble; the news suggest that his office has been sealed off by unknown agents of the State. But as the mystery and twist deepens, President of Concerned Nigerians in Diaspora Comrade Ambassador James Erebuoye has risen stoutly in his defense calling on President Buhari to be wary of those elements who are determined to fight back against his administrations cardinal policy-- corruption. Comrade Erebuoye lashed out at those who are determined to derail Buhari's  anti-corruption fight  by orchestrating the closure of Obla's office. His words: " Everybody knows that it is not going to be easy to fight against corruption in a country like Nigeria; but here we have a man who ventured out to perform his job and assigned responsibility" Speaking further, Comrade Erebuoye charged that even the President has acknowledged how difficult it is to fight corruption and wondered the reason behind Obla's present ordeal. Comrade pointed out that President Buhari should have at the back of his mind that certainly his anti-corruption drive was going to face stiff resistance like the type Obla is currently being subjected to. He reminded the President that  Nigerians in Diaspora applauded the appointment of Okoi Obla as the Chairman of the Task force and called for an end to to his predicament. Comrade Erebuoye further expressed his concern that Mr. President should be aware that what Obla is going through now may just be an attempt to derail his Administration's determined fight against high profile corruption fight in which is his administration's cardinal policy. Comrade charged that Obla's ordeal is coming at a time that his office is carrying out high profile investigations against suspected cases and called don Nigerians to wake up and support President Buhari at this time to enable the fight against corruption to succeed in Nigeria.
