EFCC slams Paul Ibe over unfounded claims against Olukoyede

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has strongly denied allegations made by Paul Ibe, spokesperson for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, that EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede held a secret meeting with an unnamed politician.

According to the Head, Media and Publicity, EFCC, Mr. Dele Oyewale, the commission described the claims as “patently fabricated and in bad taste,” emphasizing that Olukoyede has consistently maintained an apolitical stance and the commission operates without partisan bias.

Paul Ibe’s Unfounded Claims against Olukoyede on Channels Television

The commission is outraged by the unfounded claims of Mr. Paul Ibe, spokesperson to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, alleging that Ola Olukoyede, Executive Chairman, held a secret meeting with an unnamed politician.

Ibe, who was a guest on Seun Okinbaloye’s Politics Today on Channels Television on Thursday, May 22, 2025, bared his mind on sundry theories, conjectures and assumptions relating to opposition politics and defections.

However, his allegations of the Executive Chairman EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede and the Solicitor General of the Federation’s alleged meeting with an unnamed governor forty -eight hours before he defects to the ruling All People’s Congress, APC, are patently fabricated and in bad taste.

Olukoyede has stressed at several fora that he is apolitical and the EFCC is wired against partisan tendencies.

The public is enjoined to disregard the alleged meeting with the unnamed Governor as it only exists in the imagination of Ibe.
