EFCC Declares Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu’s Ally, Aisha Achimugu, Wanted For ‘Money Laundering’ Amid Alleged Secret Funding Of Atiku, Peter Obi

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has declared Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, an ally of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, wanted over allegations of money laundering and criminal conspiracy.

Achimugu, who is accused of secretly funnelling funds to opposition leaders Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 elections, was officially declared wanted in a circular issued by the anti-graft agency on Friday.

The EFCC, in its statement, called on the public to provide information about her whereabouts, listing her last known address as 6C, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja.

The circular, signed by EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, stated: "The public is hereby notified that AISHA SULAIMAN ACHIMUGU, whose photograph appears above, is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in an alleged case of Criminal Conspiracy and Money Laundering.

“Achimugu, 51, is an indigene of Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State. Anybody with useful information as to her whereabouts should please the Commission in its Ibadan, Uyo, Sokoto, Maiduguri, Benin, Makurdi, Kaduna, Ilorin, Enugu, Kano, Lagos, Gombe, Port Harcourt or Abuja offices or through 08093322644; its e-mail address: [email protected] or the nearest Police Station and other security agencies."

This development follows an exclusive report by Peoples Gazette, which revealed that President Bola Tinubu was "furious and felt betrayed" after receiving intelligence that funds linked to Sanwo-Olu’s ally, Achimugu, had made their way to Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.

The report suggests that Tinubu viewed the situation as a serious act of political betrayal, potentially endangering Sanwo-Olu’s political career.

A top government official told Peoples Gazette: “The president was furious and felt betrayed when he was informed that this actually happened. He has absorbed deceptive political tactics all his life, but he was uncharacteristically hurt by this one.”

Security sources investigating Achimugu’s financial activities allegedly traced large sums to both Obi and Abubakar after the 2023 elections, raising questions about Sanwo-Olu’s political allegiance.

The Gazette further reported that the funds may have been distributed as part of a compromise to secure Sanwo-Olu’s re-election after Tinubu’s shock loss in Lagos during the presidential polls.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, a protégé of Tinubu, now finds himself at the centre of a political storm that could jeopardise his political career. Analysts suggest that the EFCC’s sudden interest in Achimugu is a sign that the presidency may be preparing to cut ties with the Lagos governor.

In a related development, on March 14, 2025, SaharaReporters exclusively reported that President Tinubu had disclosed that he stepped in to facilitate the reinstatement of Mudashiru Obasa as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly after detecting the influence of the state executive, led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in Obasa’s impeachment.

According to sources present at a meeting that Tinubu held with state lawmakers, the President expressed concern over Sanwo-Olu’s level of influence, stating that it was troubling for the governor to wield such power and that he had a vested interest in who became the Speaker of the Assembly.

The meeting was held to address the leadership crisis within the Lagos State House of Assembly.

An official familiar with the investigation stated: “They should’ve known that the president has informants everywhere. And Governor Sanwo-Olu especially should have known that there was no way he could get away with being in bed with opposition figures who have sworn to undermine the president at every turn.”

Atiku Denies Allegation

Reacting to the allegations, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar vehemently denied ever receiving funds from Sanwo-Olu, calling the claims "a blatant lie from the pit of hell."

In a statement released by his media office, Atiku said: "We wish to state emphatically and for the record that this is a political hatchet job aimed at providing a much-needed justification to jettison Governor Sanwo-Olu, who appears to have fallen out of favour with the ‘Bourdillon Cult.”

The statement further claimed that the allegations were “contrived political hogwash” designed to discredit opposition leaders ahead of the 2027 elections.

Nawa o

Once you cross the Big Three—Tinubu, Akpabio, Wike—the hammer drops within 24 hours.

Watch it play out again. If these men had worn military uniforms, firing squads would be a Friday ritual to silence opposition.

This is nothing short of a flagrant abuse of state resources to settle personal vendettas.

They now weaponize every arm of the system:
• Police – for swift arrests of dissenters.
• INEC – to engineer electoral outcomes.
• Senate Ethics Committee – to blacklist and silence opponents.
• Niger Delta Militants – for muscle when needed.
• Retired Military Officers – to offer old-school tactical backing.
• EFCC – to hound political enemies under the guise of anti-corruption.
• Judiciary/Courts – to rubber-stamp political decisions.

This isn’t governance—it’s a power consolidation play masquerading as leadership.

Dey should place reward of 5m if dey really serious

Sanwo baby, sorry o but we all know that Aisha is just the trap set for you for daring to have any influence as a governor. That impeachment something seems to be true after all

Achimugu

Her name appears weighty. What does Achimugu mean?

It means "let's eat wickedness" in Hausa!

All these allegations are just to distract and take attention away from the Tinubu's audio

That's self-exile for the next 2 or 6 years.
Lucky for Sanwo-Olu, he is in his second term and they need him for 2027.

You're a kid, you don't understand the laws of power. You can't put a fire on your roof and go to sleep. Trump is dismantling Biden's men in Government departments, Putin, Xi Jinping won't even allow you see the next sunshine if one of their close allies gang up with their enemies. People like you are just an academic theorist, your understanding of politics does not go beyond paper. Sit down and learn.

Asonaijaaso:


Oh, you think you’ve figured out the “laws of power,” :
1. Power isn’t just brute force – You think shouting and smashing things is real power? No. Real power is knowing when to act, when to hold back, and when to let others destroy themselves. Trump, Putin, Xi—they use strategy, not just muscle.
2. You’re oversimplifying – You’re treating politics like a game of checkers. Thinking you can just burn everything down and sit back? That’s childish. These leaders understand patience and leverage, not just raw aggression.
3. Dismantling your enemies doesn’t show strength – If you’re always tearing down your opposition, you’re weak, not strong. True power is when your enemies are already irrelevant or too divided to matter.
4. Stop confusing desperation with dominance – Trump’s “cleaning house” isn’t impressive. If he had real control, he wouldn’t need to eliminate his opponents so aggressively. That’s insecurity, not strength.
5. You’re missing the bigger picture – Real masters of power don’t act out of fear. Putin, Trump, Xi—they’re always on edge because they know they have to force their power. But the truly strong leaders let their power grow naturally and don’t need to tear everything down.

So, take a seat. Study the real game of power, and when you understand how to play the long game, come talk to me. Right now, you’re just fantasizing about power without understanding how it really works.

Your understanding is too low, I was not referring to a direct attack on Opposition camp. How do you deal with an enemy within?. The great Julius Caesar was assassinated by his own associates because he lowered his guard. Take a back seat, you'd understand better when you grow up.

Lol, the mods should come and delete this again. Seun, this forum has turned into something else.

Whatever that's cooking, we'll soon know. Na APC fight.

Them want fk sanwo olu up

He's lucky it's his 2nd term. Nothing to lose.

2027 would really surprise Tinubu

I hope Opposition learn and don't bring out any polls during campaign

Polls made them go gaga last election... Pretend like Bat wining is 100%

Let the betrayal start from his Lagos

If she committed a crime, go and root her out of her home in the village. Nigerians always run there after committing atrocities. Another action is to arrest her parents. She will manifest from thin air to guarantee their well being. EFCC never ready. They practice the rule of law for wealthy crooks.

Obasa and Tinubu are making sure Sanwo-Olu get kicked for the coup @ the LASHA.

Hmmmm
