Obanikoro expressed his disappointment in the Federal Government today as he said that he had ‘lost confidence in the government’
Let me reiterate clearly: I have never received any invitation from EFCC over any issue up till date. This invasion therefore is premature.

Furthermore, no Court ordered a Raid on my house or Seizure of my belongings. Any such move is Illegal and will be fought against Legally. — Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016
Such Invasion and Raid of my house without prior Invitation from EFCC to me or any Court Order towards this Signals a Return to Despotism.

The Illegal Invasion without EFCC invitation, Notice of Investigation or a Court Order is also a Mockery of the Intelligence of Nigerians. — Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016
If hounding PDP members will solve Nigeria’s Economic Woes then we Welcome it. This Rather is a Woeful Attempt to Distract from those Woes.

I put close to Two Decades into Public Service, in Opposition and in Government, all with an Unblemished Record and a Clear Conscience. — Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016
EFCC has never OFFICIALLY made public ANY investigation of my record in Government at ANY TIME before this Illegal Invasion of my house.

Since EFCC opted to make this a media trial/circus, let them make public ANY DOCUMENT linking me or ANY of my children to ANY financial scam — Musiliu Obanikoro (@MObanikoro) June 15, 2016
