Ayodele Fayose, immediate past
governor of Ekiti, has arrived at the office of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
Fayose had earlier notified the
EFCC that he will make himself available immediately his tenure expires.
He was on Tuesday accompanied to
the anti-graft agency’s office by Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers state, and
Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of aviation.
Wearing a black t-shirt with the
inscription “EFCC, I’m here”, the ex-governor said: “I am here in line with my
promise that I will be here on the 16th of October, and like I said to EFCC,
they should await my arrival.
“This morning, they have been to
my house which I think its unnecessary.”
Also speaking, Wike said: “He
wrote to the EFCC that he will submit himself on the 16th of October.
“So let Nigerians know that he
came by himself to EFCC without anybody harassing him, so that’s why I brought
him here.”
Fayose was seen with a bag filled
with his clothes.
A day after the July 14
governorship election in Ekiti, the EFCC hinted that it would investigate the
integrated poultry project of Fayose’s administration.
The anti-graft agency filed the
N1.3bn fraud case against Fayose in 2005.
The case led to his impeachment
from office in 2006.
“The parri is over; The cloak of
immunity torn apart, and the staff broken. #Ekiti Integrated Poultry
Project/Biological Concepts Limited N1.3bn fraud case file dusted off the
shelves. See you soon,” EFCC tweeted on its official handle.
The tweet was later deleted by
the anti-graft agency.
