In a startling revelation, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has disclosed that a staggering 58 former governors are implicated in the misappropriation, embezzlement, or laundering of approximately N2.187 trillion over a period of 25 years.

This astronomical sum excludes assets seized globally or currently under investigation, which amount to billions of Naira.

The EFCC’s investigation has shed light on the extensive scale of corruption within Nigeria’s political landscape.

With a total loot of N2.2 trillion, equivalent to the combined budgets of Lagos State and the South-East states for 2024, this scandal surpasses the budgets of the North-Central and North-East states for the same year by several billion Naira.

Currently, the EFCC is actively probing and prosecuting 58 ex-governors hailing from diverse regions across the country. Since the onset of civilian rule on May 29, 1999, Nigeria has seen the tenure of at least 170 governors across its 36 states.

Among the ex-governors facing or previously faced investigations by the EFCC, notable figures and their alleged misappropriated amounts include:
