Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state says he is not afraid of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The outgoing chief executive of the Fountain of Knowledge has vowed to remain in the country after the expiration of his tenure.
“He is not afraid of anything. What are they going to do to him. Is EFCC the court of law?” the governor’s media aide, Lere Olayinka is quoted as saying.
The EFCC had posted on Twitter on Sunday that it would get at Fayose when he hands over power in October to answer questions on the $1.3 billion fraud allegations.
Fayose, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is slated to hand over power to Kayode Fayemi, who won Saturday’s governorship poll in Ekiti after he defeated Prof. Kolapo Olusola-Eleka of the PDP.
