Di Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) don deny tori wey Paul Ibe, spokesperson for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, talk say di EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, hold secret meeting wit one governor wey still dey power and im predecessor before dem decamp go All Progressives Congress (APC).
