The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has detained former Sokoto State Governor and ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. Aminu Tambuwal was detained for questioning over alleged fraudulent cash withdrawals to the tune of ₦189 billion.
The development has sparked reactions across political circles, with prominent politician and ADC Chieftain, Chief Dele Momodu, expressing strong solidarity with the former governor.
Quoting American poet Walt Whitman, Momodu wrote: “Weep not, child, Weep not, my darling, With these kisses let me remove your tears, The ravening clouds shall not long be victorious…”
In a statement posted on his official Instagram account on Monday, August 11, 2025, Momodu addressed Tambuwal directly, describing him as a “very dear brother” and voicing his opposition to what he described as political intimidation.
“MY VERY DEAR BROTHER THE RIGHT HONORABLE SENATOR AMINU WAZIRI TAMBUWAL, I STAND SOLIDLY WITH YOU TONIGHT, THE SAME WAY I STOOD WITH ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU DURING HIS CODE OF CONDUCT TRIBUNAL TRIAL… THERE SHOULD BE NO PLACE FOR POLITICAL INTIMIDATION IN A DEMOCRACY. THIS TOO SHALL PASS AND THE HUNTER MAY BECOME THE HUNTED…”
