themomentng: Former Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Alh Yahaya Bello earlier today, honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
This decision was made after due consultations with his family, legal team and political allies.
The former Governor, who has great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority, had, all the while, only sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights in order to ensure due process.
According to a statement from the former governor media office, the governor is yet to be interrogated.
THE STATEMENT:
1. Earlier today, we reported the voluntary visit of former Governor of Kogi State, HE Alh. Yahaya Bello to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission office to honour the Commission’s invitation.
2. In the statement, we reiterated the former Governor’s great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority, and stressed that, all the while, he only sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights in order to ensure due process.
3. The EFCC did not, however, interrogate him as officials told him he could leave. We don’t know what this means yet. As we write, HE Alhaji Yahaya Bello has left the EFCC office. He was accompanied there by the Governor of Kogi State, HE Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
4. Recall that the case has been before a competent court of jurisdiction, and Alhaji Yahaya Bello had been duly represented by his legal team at every hearing. The former Governor decided to honour the invitation to clear his name as he has nothing to hide and nothing to fear.

This is what you get in a country where people are more powerful than Institutions. I've lost respect for the EFCC

Let me guess, those that have political ambition would share 200, keep 1000, repackage them, put their face and their party logo, and share it again to their party faithfuls.

Any person that moves the price of a product from N168 to more than N1,000 and still tells you that he's doing it in your best interest, isn't a honest person.
