President Tinubu has not announced Hakeen Odumosu as EFCC chairman
Some media platforms, excluding Legit.ng, on Tuesday, broke the news that President Tinubu has appointed the former commissioner of police in Lagos State as substantial chairman of the EFCC, awaiting the confirmation of the Senate in the coming days.
However, none of the reports quoted any authority as a source of information.
Recall that President Tinubu suspended the former chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa, over allegations of abuse of office.

President Tinubu: First foreign trips Nigerian presidents have made since 1999
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu travelled to Paris in France precisely 23 days that he resumed office after taking over from ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
President Tinubu leaving the office for a foreign trip was not new as he was not the first Nigerian president to embark on such a journey a few days after resuming office.
Recent statistics showed that Nigerian presidents from 1999 have been embarking on foreign trips a few days after they resume office.
