The protest he said will be organized by the group in collaboration with other civil society groups that are in the forefront of championing campaigns against corruption in Nigeria.

Oghenesivbe said there are allegations that the former governor doled out hundreds of millions to some unnamed officials of anti-grafts agencies in the past “but I strongly believe that EFCC under Ibrahim Magu is superb and cannot be hand twisted with bribes so as to close its eagle eyes to the stinky corruption profile of the ex-governor of Delta state, Dr. Emmanuel Iweta Uduaghan.

He added that at the end of all the struggle, Uduaghan must be sent to jail.
