The National Legal Adviser of the
ruling All Progressives Congress, Dr. Muiz Banire (SAN), who is being probed by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for giving N500,000 to a judge,
has stepped down.
In a letter dated November 8, 2016
which he wrote to the APC National Executive Committee through the National
Chairman of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, and copied to President Muhammadu
Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Banire said he was stepping down
pending the outcome of the EFCC investigation.
He said he was doing so in the
interest of the image of the party.
