The Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has directed anti graft agencies to reopen corruption cases of ex governors for which they have earlier been investigated, Punch reports.
ICPC sources according to Punch, confirmed that the agency has received a letter to that effect from the office of the AGF.
Although the names of the governors were't mentioned, Punch says some of them had been convicted for charges preferred against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and some are still undergoing trial.
About five of the former governors are now serving senators while some of them had served as senators after completing two terms as governors.
The affected personalities, it was learnt, served as governors for either one or two terms between 1999 and 2015, and are from all the six geopolitical zones in the country.
It was also confirmed that majority of those on the list belonged to the two dominant political parties, the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.
