From:
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
EFCC Chairman
To:
Chief Bisi Akande
Chairman, Action Congress (AC) Party
I write to share with you the outcome of our investigation of some candidates of AC seeking political fortunes in the forthcoming elections.
As you can see from the matrix attached, there are 27 AC candidates on a list of 137 national all parties aspirants straddling six parties and ranging from presidential through gubernatorial and federal legislative to state legislative office seekers.
The commission, as you are aware, in fulfilment of its statutory mandate, houses a national financial and economic crimes database through which it developed information in support of a redoubtable law enforcement programme in the country. This is a product of that resource.
This list is graciously offered in the expectation that it will assist your internal party review process which is currently apace.
This list is proposed in the hope that it will save your party of the untidy decision of having to, belatedly, field candidates midstream in the event of an unexpected disqualification.
Our team of investigators and intelligence officers will be available to engage in further discussions with you, should you need further clarification on the list.
I hope this proves useful to you and I wish you God’s speed in your preparations.
Best Regards:
Nuhu Ribadu

PARTY
The parties should reject EFCC’s unsolicited advise as they call it and go ahead and present these candidates to the electorate. Let the electorate choose whom they want. If EFCC feels strongly about the indictment, they should ask a court of competent jurisdiction to bar these candidates from contesting.
