Fayose: Buhari using corrupt EFCC to fight corruption, says; "EFCC should stop media trial"

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has declared that President Mohammadu Buhari was using an equally corrupt Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to stamp out corruption in Nigeria, insisting that the President must start the corruption fight from his party and immediate aides since charity begins from home.

The governor said; “EFCC opinions remain their opinions and if they are so sure of whatever information they have, they should go to court and stop subjecting Nigerians to media trial and that no amount of media trial from the same elements that orchestrated my removal in 2006 can erode my popularity among Ekiti people.”

He said any property that may be linked to him or his company was bought legitimately and his properties were duly declared in his assets declaration form and sources of such funds were not illicit.

In a release issued on Wednesday by the Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, maintained that his election was funded by Zenith Bank as well as donations from friends and associates, adding that; "As a promising candidate of my party, I cannot stop Nigerians from supporting my election like every other candidates of other political, including President Buhari."

He said since the money he got for his election was from legitimate sources and not from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) as being concocted, how the money was spent remained his own business and not that of anyone.

The governor also debunked the reported allegation by the EFCC that he received bribe from any contractor in Ekiti; saying; "if they have anything against me, they should keep their gun powder dry.

"Because in 2006 when they took me to court, their allegations crumbled like pack of cards because court decisions are founded on facts and law, and not on media trial as currently being done by the EFCC as teleguided by the APC in their desperation to set the people against me knowing fully that they are not on ground."

He said "having failed to buy the conscience of Ekiti House of Assembly members, the APC people have become increasingly afraid of 2018 and that the agencies of the Federal Government should know that no matter how hard they try, Ekiti electorate will not be deceived by their blackmail and media trial.

Governor Fayose said “The EFCC should be told in clear terms that this is 2016 and not 2006 when impeachment notices against governors were signed on the table of EFCC operatives. Those who are teleguiding the EFCC now should also be reminded that they did more than what they are doing now in 2006, yet I was overwhelmingly voted for by the Ekiti people eight years after the orchestrated impeachment which the Supreme Court declared illegal."

The governor asked; "Should Nigerians now conclude that EFCC is an appendage of APC? Is the EFCC for investigation of corrupt practices among all Nigerians or members of opposition parties alone?"

The governor said; “As at today, I have not been accused of stealing a dime from Ekiti treasury. EFCC has not also said that Ekiti money was stolen and that my election was funded with Ekiti State money."

Accusing the EFCC of carrying out the APC agenda to force him out of office as was done in 2006, the governor said; “It is sad that some politicians from Ekiti State now resume and close in EFCC offices in Lagos and Abuja and we wonder whether those politicians have now taken over the job of EFCC.”

He maintained that he will continue to speak his mind on issues affecting Nigerians and can never be cowed, saying; "Nigerians are suffering. States can no longer pay workers salary, a litre of kerosene is now N220, a bag of rice is now N20,000 and some people will sit in Presidential Villa and expect that all of us should keep silent? That's not possible!

"No amount of media trial by agents of the Buhari-led APC government will make me to stop baring my mind on the cluelessness of the Federal Government."

Let me assume you are a very rich man. Asking Fayose to go and pay, is dat hw u spend without source? is dat how you pay your private workers during downturn moments in your personal biz? hmmm, just wanna know

What about the $2.8b of 1984? The Nation is now asking this bleeping EFCC to investigate that first before pursuing a whole Governor and a Senate President, both of whom have immunity while in office?

The question is are the people EFCC going after corrupt?

Yes, they are!!!

It's a figurative way of saying "you have a crisis @ home. So, focus & solve it!" & this goes to all the inept governors...you have to be more creative & proactive in this financial crisis period! Not taking more loans, because servicing those loans will cause more harm!

...& I was particular about him because he's too vocal about solving problems @ the centre (by the way, i like that!); so if he expects a magic over there, then he can show example in his state by being a little more creative!

Fayose needs to be notified that crying for pubic sympathy here is not likely to change anything, although that can never be totally ruled out going by how passionate and aggressive some gullible youths defend evil and corrupt politicians as though the said loot was equally shared with their family. In the fwve of all this crystal clear evidences smiling against him, I dount if he ll be able to survive this unscathed.

That's the best way Mr governor; using the corrupt to fight the corrupt

Thank you. you made so much sense.

As long as the EFCC keep investigating and prosecuting only some selected people while others remain untouchable.
