Ayodele Fayose,
outgoing governor of Ekiti, has left for the nation’s capital, Abuja, to honour
the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Fayose had earlier
written a letter to the EFCC saying he will turn himself in immediately his
tenure as governor expires on October 16.
Idowu Adelusi, chief
press secretary to Fayose, said “the governor is on his way to Abuja right now.
Though, it’s on Tuesday that he will be going to the EFCC office”.
TheCable understands that
the governor will meet with his lawyers at his private residence to prepare for
the invitation.
“Also, there is
a plan to mobilise his supporters and some PDP leaders to follow him when
he will be reporting at the EFCC office, so that’s why he is going to Abuja
today,” a source said.
Fayose is expected to
meet with Umar Mohammed, the commission’s director of operations, at the
anti-graft agency’s head office.
TheCable had reported that the EFCC had begun the investigation of Fayose, his wife Feyisetan and top
aides over allegations of money laundering and abuse of office.
On Saturday evening, the
governor moved around major streets of Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, thanking
the people for their support and saying farewell.
