Alhaji Mariam-Alhassan also urged President Tinubu to order the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to properly investigate all financial transactions of all the TIC leaderships since inception with the intention of instilling institutional transparency, financial accountability, and strengthening of democratic ethics.
