Nigerians have taken to social media to express their outrage over reports that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn a 14 count charge filed against a former Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Madueke, along with Ben Otti, Nnamdi Okonkwo, Stanley Lawson, and others.
Since the news broke on Tuesday, many Nigerians have taken to various social media platforms especially microblogging platforms, Twitter to tongue-lash the anti-graft agency and the present government.
Some have gone ahead to allege that, dropping the charges against the former petroleum minister was the price for former President Goodluck Jonathan “allowing the All Progressives Congress, APC win Bayelsa state in the just concluded governorship election in the state.”

@officialEFCC dropped charges against Dizeani after APC grabbed Bayelsa. Some people did not even know that Diezani is from Bayelsa state, related to Goodluck Jonathan.
You are left guess why the charges we're dropped.

If you watch ‘House of Cards’, you will definitely understand the nitty-gritty of Diezani, GEJ, Bayelsa Governorship and APC. Don’t be deceived Nigerians. It’s all politics, games!
