The Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to refocus its efforts on major corruption cases rather than pursuing social media activists like Mama Pee and Randy Peter.

In a statement released through the Peter Obi Media Reach (POMR), Obi emphasized that the EFCC should direct its resources towards addressing significant financial crimes that undermine Nigeria's economy and public trust.

The statement highlighted that corruption has been a major obstacle to infrastructure development and economic growth, urging the agency to prioritize cases involving public fund mismanagement and economic crimes.

POMR criticized the EFCC's recent focus on online dissent, arguing that this approach risks eroding public confidence in the agency's anti-corruption mandate.

The group warned that excessive attention to social media-related probes could make the EFCC appear as a tool for political control rather than a genuine fight against corruption.

Obi's call comes amid growing concerns about the EFCC's handling of high-profile cases and its role in maintaining public trust in Nigeria's anti-graft efforts.
