You don't need petition to probe tinubu"-segalinks replies efcc

Social media activist, Segun Awosanya, popularly known as Segalink, has rejected the advice of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to write a petition against All Progressives Congress leader, Bola Tinubu.

Segalink, who is the leader of the #EndSARS movement, said the EFCC did not need him to write a petition against Tinubu before going after the APC leader.

The activist said the EFCC had been going after internet fraudsters and raiding night clubs without a petition.

He tweeted, “The EFCC in their primitive chest-thumping about Section 7(1) of their Establishment Act of 2004, forgot that they have the same power over the likes of Tinubu as they do over alleged Yahoo boys to act based on probable case. Why expect a petition from us?”

Segalink told The PUNCH in an interview on Friday that the EFCC had failed to take action on several petitions in the past.

He noted that the petition against Alpha Beta, a tax collection firm believed to be linked to Tinubu, had been abandoned by the commission.

Segalink said, “I wrote a petition once even with all the details, the EFCC could not get on Abdulmumin Jubrin, who admitted to budget padding. Alpha Beta Managing Director wrote to the EFCC on the alleged fraudulent activities of his firm. Nothing has been done till date.

“Why will I waste my time on another petition when the ones before them have not been addressed?”

The activist said the matter was beyond politics but more about equity, justice and fairness.There shouldn’t be different rules for different people in a democratic republic. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians,” he said.

The EFCC and Segalink had been engaged in a war of words on Thursday after the EFCC boasted on Twitter that it had the power to investigate anybody living above his means.

Segalink subsequently dared the commission to probe Tinubu who had admitted on television that bullion vans laden with cash on the eve of elections belong to him.

Wow!!! Congratulations to Rema, as he emerges the winner of the Headies 2019 “Next Rated” Award. As we predicted before the Headies Award tonight, Mavin wonder Kid, Rema has defeated Zlatan to win the Headies Next Rated Award. You would recall that Zlatan has been shinning in the music industry since the last year 2018 and no one could have thought Rema who just hit the Industry this year could floor him in this category. This category seems like an easy win for Zlatan and so many music lovers have criticized the Headies for results of this category. But on the other hand, some industry gurus believe it is a well-deserved win for Rema as a result of the huge impact he’s got in the music industry in a short period of time. We would love to hear from you guys

Why zlatan might last longer than naira Marley in the industry

The Nigerian music industry this year so far has been exceptionally competitive with the impact, commitment, input, and controversy introduced by Naira Marley and Zlatan. The level of dominance these duo have in the industry this year is second to none. This is the first time we are having 2 street artistes popping and making it without one affecting the other. For instance when Slimcase was popping, there was no major match, when small doctor was popping, no one was. and so much more. However, criticisms keep increasing by the day as many question the talent and efficiencies of these 2. Questions like:- Won’t they also end up like the Shaku Shaku crooner, Slimcase?, If Zanku fades off today, will they still be heard? Will they still be relevant in 2020, as we now have likes of Fireboy , Joeboy and Rema already popping as well? Answering all these questions rhetorically in my head, one thing kept re-occurring in my thought as to the longev...
