A group, the Northern Emancipation Network has tackled Political Analyst Frank Tietie over his comments on the face off between Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle and Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Abdulrasheed Bawa.

Tietie had blasted Matawalle for not providing concrete evidence after alleging that Bawa requested $2 million as a bribe from him.

Reacting, Suleiman Abbah, Chairman of Northern Emancipation Network said the remarks by Tietie were untrue

“We noticed the proliferation of comments since the Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle dared the EFCC chairman to be holistic and not selective in the conduct of his job as demanded by the enabling statute that established the agency.

“The latest is from self-acclaimed public analyst going by the name Frank Tietie who ventured the most unsophisticated, uncouth and unresearched piece in defense of the EFCC and its Chairman Abdulrasheed Bawa.

“The man ignorantly assumed that Matawalle ought to have released the evidence in his possession to a biased public such as the one he represents, and not to a court of competent jurisdiction.

“Tietie missed the fact that the mere allegation by Matawalle is enough to initiate a probe that will lead to appearance in court where strict proof will be required.

“Tietie, also deliberately or ignorantly left or did not make mention of the circumstances that led a court law recently to commit Bawa to prison for contempt in connection with an investigation of scandals running into billions of dollars against the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

“Besides, the commentator could not point at what is really wrong with a person reminding a government agency as important as the EFCC of its obligation under the law,” the group said.
