Watchlist: Your Time Will Soon Be Over, Fani-kayode Tells Buhari by DinoMelaye(m): 4:58pm On Sep 17, 2018
The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari will soon be over, former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-kayode, has said.

Mr Fani-kayode stated this in reaction to the placement of Ayodele Fayose, outgoing governor of Ekiti State, on watchlist.

The report also published by NGPOLITICS detailed a written exchange of information between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).

In it, the EFCC urged the NCS to mount surveillance across the border in a bid not to allow Mr Fayose escaped from the country.

“There is a reasonable suspicion suggesting that he may likely leave the country either through the land borders, airports or seaports in order to evade investigation. Hence, you are kindly requested to watch-list him and arrest him,” read the letter signed by Ibrahim Magu, acting chairman of the EFCC.

Fayose who enjoys immunity from prosecution as a result of his present office ends his tenure as governor of the state next month.

He is being probed for alleged abuse of office, money laundering, among others.

“I have never seen such pettiness in my entire life. As a sitting Governor, Ayo Fayose has full immunity and can travel to any country that he pleases until his tenure lapses,” Fani-kayode said in a tweet on Sunday.

“The Buhari administration is utterly shameless. No man is God and their time will soon be over,” he added.

Since 2007, Fayose has been having a running battle with the anti-graft agency. A new twist was however introduced to it in 2016, following the discovery that the governor, had allegedly benefitted from the alleged arms deal scandal, amounting to N1.3bn, which he was alleged to have received from the then minister of state for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro to prosecute his election in 2014. Obanikoro has since joined the All Progressive Congress, (APC).

Fayose’s party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lost the July 2018 governorship election in Ekiti State, to the candidate of the APC, Dr. Kayode Fayemi. He defeated PDP’s candidate and outgoing deputy governor, Olusola Kolapo, to win the race.



Barely 24 hours after the election was won and lost, the EFCC, had in a tweet noted that with Fayose’s tenure ending in less than three months, he should be preparing to visit the Commission.

The Commission intimated that investigation into Fayose’s alleged N1.3 billion poultry project during his first term would be reopened so as to continue the prosecution.

“The parri (party) 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,” the EFCC had tweeted.

And FFK obviously thinks he knows better. Here he is all against Fayose's probe by the EFCC but was all mute when the so called Fayose refused to pay salaries of workers in his state for months.
