The
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, whose tenure expired midnight on Monday,
said earlier in the day that he would visit the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission on Tuesday (today) with his bedclothes and pillowcase.
Fayose’s
immunity ends along with his tenure and he has been invited to the headquarters
of the EFCC where he will answer to allegations that he received about N1.3bn
from the Office of the National Security Adviser through the then Minister of
State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.
Fayose
said, “I will be there on Tuesday. I am not begging for any bail. It is up to
them. If they want me, they should just give me a bed. I have done by bed
bedclothes, I have done my pillowcase, I have my English and Yoruba bibles. I
am prepared for them. Nobody should worry about me. Only cowards die many times
before their deaths.”
Fayose
spoke even as a source close to him has said that some governors and lawmakers
who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party are expected to accompany him
to the EFCC.
Sources
close to Punch correspondent said Fayose, who is the chairman of the PDP
Governors Forum, would be accompanied by a team of PDP stalwarts.
