Leave Ribadu Alone!

What is the problem with us in this part of the world? A young man was called to serve his nation as the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Since he accepted the job, every Nigerian truthful to the cause of this nation will agree that Ribadu's EFCC has done a lot to stem the tide of corruption in Nigeria. Do you remember Tafa Balogun's case? What of the 0ver $250 million dollar-Anajemba fraud busted by the commission? Alamieyeseigha nko? Orji Kalu, Chimaroke Nnamani, Saminu Turaki, Joshua Dariye and recently Ayo Fayose and James Ibori among others are undergoing prosecution and all Ribadu gets in return are attempts to frustrate his good work. What legacies are we bequeathing our generations unborn? That it is a crime to fight corruption? God forbid!

There have been several attempts from the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation to give Ribadu a bad name so as to hang him. Mr. Aondoakaa failed woefully, and only succeeded in attracting public condemnation. Now, the next move is for the police authorities to send him away for one year on a study leave! Please, leave Ribadu alone! Let it be instructive that this sinister plan to remove Ribadu at all costs will hit the rocks again and all those enemies of democracy will be put to shame. Or is it now that the EFCC anti-corruption machine has begun a bountiful harvest of the once ''untouchable'' ex-governors that the IGP has realised that Ribadu needs more training? Haba! Let somebody tell Okiro that Nigerians are not ready to release Ribadu on any study leave for one day. We outrightly reject it.

President Yar'Adua is a man I respect so much for his tenacious commitment to the principles of due process and the rule of law. I know he will not sit back and watch this aberration occur at this critical point of our national advancement. The EFCC Act is very clear on the processes of removing any officer of the commission including its chairman. We must not forget due process now that it affects the anti-corruption czar - Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. Mr. President, please intervene. In this case, silence is not golden. Tell them to leave Ribadu alone.
