The Citizens Watch Nigeria (CWN) and Good Governance Project Initiative (GGPI) have lauded the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) for exonerating the Chairman Police Service Commission (PSC) and Former Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro of allegations of financial wrongdoings made by one Mr. Aaron Kaase.
In a press statement in Abuja yesterday by Executive Secretary, Citizens Watch Nigeria, Omoba Kenneth Aigbegbele and National President, Good Governance Project Initiative, Innocent Ebirim Okadigbo said the investigation had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
It noted that the investigation has now confirmed  Okiro as a corrupt-free Nigerian, tested,  trusted and a man of integrity. According to the statement Okiro is an impeccable character who should support President Muhammad Buhari in his anti-corruption drive.
“As a matter of fact, PMB should rely on tested and trusted, honest and patriotic Nigerians like Mike Okiro to enhance the anti-corruption project,” the organisations added. They asserted that they had been vindicated on their initial position in this matter when the allegation went viral in the social and print media. The organisations urged the media to be vigilant so as not to  be used  by unscrupulous and devilish elements in the society  to malign the good name and integrity of honest, hardworking and patriotic Nigerians.
