Meanwhile, despite being on the run, the posters of Abdulrasheed Maina, have already flooded parts of Abuja, and Kaduna metropolis.
Though, Maina is yet to publicly join any political party, the wanted civil servant might have declared his intention to contest in the Borno state gubernatorial election with his posters which have been sighted in some areas of Kaduna and Abuja.
NAIJ.com gathered that the ex-pension boss has been on the run since President Muhammadu Buhari ordered his removal from the federal civil service for alleged graft amounting to the tune of N2bn.
But since his removal, his whereabouts has remained unknown to the EFCC which has sealed up some of his properties.
