The candidate being considered for the EFCC job by Mr Tinubu is a lawyer, who served as secretary of the anti-graft agency for two years during the reign of Ibrahim Magu as the acting chair of the commission.
This newspaper had chronicled how leadership succession at the two-decade-old EFCC had been steeped in controversies concerning allegations of fraud. He had worked as a lawyer at the law firm of former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo before he clinched the EFCC job. He equally specialises in anti-corruption research and analysis, corporate and business intelligence gathering and processing.
However, there are concerns that Mr Olukoyede, who is being considered for the job and touted to likely break the trend of having northerners as the chair of the commission, may not be qualified for the job. There are statutory requirements for the appointment of the EFCC boss which Mr Olukoyede may not meet.
