The Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr Ola Olukoyede, has felicitated Christians across the country on the celebration of Easter and expressed strong hope that Nigeria will break the yoke of corruption, stressing that “we are not defined by corruption; we cannot be defeated by it.”
He disclosed this in Abuja on Saturday, April 4, 2026, in his Easter message to the nation.
The EFCC boss charged Nigerians to imbibe the lessons of Easter, which centre on victory over trials, corruption, and death, stressing that these lessons are instructive for the nation.
“The lesson of Easter is all about undeniable victory over trials, corruption, and death. This lesson is instructive for us as a nation. We will surely overcome the trials and trauma of corruption. We are not defined by corruption; we cannot be defeated by it.”
He further urged Nigerians to keep hope alive and continue to have faith in the EFCC in its relentless fight against economic and financial crimes and other acts of corruption.
