Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has told the
Federal Government to pay attention to hunger
and suffering ravaging Nigeria and its people
and leave him alone. He said
“Fayose must be implicated at all cost’
project will definitely not put food on the
tables of Nigerians and for all I care, the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) and its collaborators can keep running
from pillar to post while I keep delivering good
governance to Ekiti and its people.”
The governor, who dismissed the reported
claim that former Minister of State for
Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro confessed
to the EFCC that he received fund from the
Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA)
under Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) to fund his
election, said
“We have gone pass this stage of media trial,
EFCC should rather keep its gun powder dry,
when we get to the bridge, we will cross it.
They said more than this in the 2006 poultry
scam blackmail, despite that, I am the
governor today.”
According to a statement signed by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor
Fayose said he was only reacting just to fulfil
all righteousness because Nigerians were
more interested in having food on their tables,
adding that;
“those who arranged the dramatic and
compromised return of Senator Obanikoro to
Nigeria obviously did so in continuation of
their project ‘Fayose must be implicated at all
cost’ but I am not bothered because my
election was legitimately funded. However, if
this is why they are intimidating judges and
the judiciary, it won’t work as far as my own
matter is concerned as no one can play God.
As far as I am concerned, I am busy here in
Ekiti attending to the welfare and well-being of
my people. I won’t be distracted.”
While challenging the EFCC to also beam its
searchlights on the funding of APC elections,
Governor Fayose said;
“Since we are now in the era in which financial
assistance from Nigerians to fund elections is
being criminalised, the international
community, especially those funding EFCC
must insist that the commission probes the
funding of APC elections before further funds
are released to the commission.”
