Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike defended the inclusion of an individual under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on President Bola Tinubu's presidential campaign team. Wike argued that being investigated does not prevent a person from canvassing votes. He questioned the double standard in scrutinizing political campaign participants, noting that someone facing an EFCC investigation but not charged could still participate in political activities.
Wike cited instances where people facing criminal allegations had contested elections and won. He also referred to an unnamed person alleged to be involved in a coup, who had also canvassed votes for a candidate.
