The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), yesterday, urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) to probe the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila and the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, over an alleged swap of constituency project.

A report claimed that a project for inner roads for the Federal College of Education (Technical), Umunze, located in the Orumba South Local Council of Anambra State, was found to have been executed in Surulere Constituency I of Lagos State.

The rights group said the two anti-corruption agencies needed not wait for formal petitions but act based on the evidence adduced by the viral video.

HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, in a statement on the allegations against the Speaker and the minister regarding the Umunze, project, said if found guilty after investigation, the duo should be arrested and prosecuted by the anti-graft agencies.

HURIWA also condemned the federal lawmakers from the South-East who stood by and do nothing or even conspire with those whose specialisation is said to be the active diversion of major infrastructural projects from the South-East to their own zones.

The rights group, therefore, challenged the anti-graft agencies to arrest and prosecute South-East legislators at the National Assembly who have conspired to deny the South-East of its own share of the strategic national infrastructural development that other zones have been getting.
