The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned against sending congratulatory messages to its newly appointed chairman, Abdulrasheed Bawa.
The anti-graft commission said it has observed the increasing number of messages published in the print media by groups and individuals, congratulating Mr. Abdulrasheed Bawa on his appointment as the Executive Chairman of the Commission.
It noted that the congratulatory messages are becoming a distraction, as the new chairman is assuming leadership of the commission at a time of great challenge.
EFCC said its new boss desires to hit the ground running, and will not like to be distracted but needs the support of all well-meaning individuals.
The commission in a Twitter post, appealed to admirers of the new chairman publishing congratulatory messages in the media to channel such resources as donations to Orphanages and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps.
EFCC further said the support needed from Nigerians are prayers, and more importantly, credible information that will further its work.
