Human rights activist and politician, Omoyele Sowore, has made comments comparing the history of EFCC invitations involving some prominent Nigerian political figures, a statement that has generated mixed reactions online.

Sowore, in his remarks, referenced past interactions between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and certain political actors, including Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.

His comments have since circulated widely on social media, where users debated the accuracy and interpretation of the claims.

Peter Obi was previously reported to have been invited by the EFCC in 2021 for questioning in connection with financial matters during his time as a public office holder. However, no court conviction or wrongdoing was established against him.

There is no official EFCC record or verified public statement confirming the comparative claims made in the viral interpretation of Sowore’s remarks regarding other political figures.

The EFCC has, over the years, invited and investigated several politicians across party lines as part of its mandate to address financial crimes in Nigeria.

Sowore is known for making strong political statements on governance and accountability, often drawing reactions from supporters and critics alike.

The latest comments continue to generate discussions on social media about corruption, accountability, and the role of anti-graft agencies in Nigeria’s political space.
