Social media influencer Peter Omokiniovo Ogudu has expressed a positive impression of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, following a recent meeting with the anti-graft agency’s boss.
Ogudu, an actor-turned-broadcaster who now operates as an influencer, had earlier criticised the EFCC, accusing some of its operatives of corruption.
He cited an alleged incident during a sting operation at a hotel in Abuja as the basis for his claims.
However, in a new video circulating on his social media platforms, Ogudu said his perception changed after the EFCC chairman invited him for a discussion to clarify the issues raised.
According to the influencer, Olukoyede was under no obligation to meet with him but still took the time to address his concerns after the earlier video drew the chairman’s attention.
“He didn’t owe me anything. But after I posted the previous video where I lambasted EFCC officials at an Abuja hotel, which drew his attention, he invited me and took his time to set the record straight,” Ogudu said.
He added that the meeting left him convinced that the EFCC chairman is genuinely committed to tackling corruption in Nigeria.
“I deduced from his voice and feelings that he has the same passion I have for Nigeria in terms of having a new Nigeria where there is no corruption,” he stated.
The development comes amid ongoing public scrutiny of anti-corruption efforts in the country, with the EFCC continuing to position itself as a leading agency in the fight against financial crimes.
