“There are checks and balances in checking for corruption. People alleging lack of progress in the fight against corruption should check what these offices have done," he said.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)'s south-south national vice chairman, Emmanuel Ogidi has said only a court can indict the party's presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, on corruption charges.
