Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to also arrest and prosecute the G-5 Governors.
Frank stated this while commending the EFCC for arresting former Delta state governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa over alleged fraud.

“We challenge the EFCC to prove us wrong by arresting members of the G-5 governors based on the various petitions against them.”
