He disclosed that since his assumption of duties at the Commission, he had never come under any pressure from any quarters assuring that in an event of any pressure, he would put up stiff resistance.
According to him
“Since I assumed duty on the 9th of November 2015, I have been under no pressure from any quarter at all and this commission will never yield to any pressure from any quarter. I have been under no pressure to do what is wrong and I will never do what is wrong. So, I think there is a sufficiency of guise in the law; the independence is what we make of that independence.”
