transition process.
He used the occasion to dispel the
rumour that the EFCC he led investigated
a case which indicted the First Lady,
Patience Jonathan.He said there was
nothing like that and the entire story
of alleged EFCC case against
Patience was completely false and a
misrepresentation of what happened.He
said his commission actually
investigated a case of N70million
suspicious lodgement by people(a woman
and a male business partner) who
turned out to be contractors in Bayelsa
state.But that EFCC investigations
cleared them of any wrong doing.He
said he does not stand to gain anything
by falsely maligning anybody.
