My view on former first lady case with EFCC is very simple, what shes passing through is what all previous and current first ladies or wife of president as we have it now should be passing through. first of all, the office of first lady is not constitutional recognize, they were not contractors, neither did they hold any public office that they should be accuse of stealing public fund.
As for Dame Patient, she was not a public office holder, neither is she a contractor, but she was found to posses milions of dollars and properties worth billions of naira. EFCC should be responsible for explaining to nigerians why they suspect the money to be stolen funds, as they did in other cases like the arms deal. but freezing her account without inviting her even when she is ready to be interrogated, gives room for suspicion. i believe she can posses morethan billion dollars from gift, dough such gift is also a corrupt gift in a reasonable society, but the fact is that all former and current first ladies are guilty of such. A good example is a situation whereby they founded pet project and NGOs while their husband were in office, but immediately after they left office, such pet project could not function well or failed due to lack of fund. reason is becouse either their husband no longer fund the project with public funds or those contractors that fund the project just to get favour from their husbands no longer fund the project.
EFCC should be seen to be fair in fighting corruption, not selective, all our former and current first ladies are guilty of what they are accusing Dame Goodluck Jonathan, they need to explain to us why they suspect the money to be stolen fund, when shes not a public office holder nor a contractor, so that nigerians would know if she do something different from what the former and current first lady have done or are currently doin.
