EFCC ACCUSED OF TARGETING OPPOSITION LEADERS, DAVID MARK NAMED AS LATEST FOCUS – ADC. (PHOTO).


 EFCC Accused of Targeting Opposition Leaders, David Mark Named as Latest Focus – ADC


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of orchestrating politically motivated investigations against opposition figures, with former Senate President and current ADC Interim National Chairman, David Mark, allegedly being the agency’s latest target. 


The ADC made the claims in a statement issued on Tuesday, citing what it described as a pattern of selective probes by the EFCC. The party pointed to recent investigations involving former Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha, both prominent opposition figures, as evidence of the agency’s alleged bias. 


According to the ADC, the EFCC’s actions suggest a deliberate campaign to intimidate and silence opposition voices ahead of future elections. “The EFCC’s focus on opposition leaders raises serious concerns about the impartiality of the agency and its role in Nigeria’s democratic process,” the statement read. The party called for transparency in the EFCC’s operations and urged the agency to refrain from being used as a tool for political vendettas.


The EFCC has yet to respond to the allegations, and no official statement has been issued regarding any investigation involving David Mark. Sources close to the former Senate President also declined to comment on the matter.


The ADC’s accusations come amid growing public scrutiny of the EFCC’s activities, with critics arguing that the agency’s investigations often appear to disproportionately target opposition politicians. Supporters of the EFCC, however, maintain that the agency is acting within its mandate to combat corruption, regardless of political affiliation.


Further developments are expected as the ADC vows to resist what it calls “targeted persecution” of its leadership. The situation continues to spark debate over the role of anti-corruption agencies in Nigeria’s polarized political landscape.
