Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has revealed what he will do to
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, when he becomes
Nigeria’s President.
Fayose described the commission as a ‘senseless’ organization, in dire need of restructuring.
The Governor said he will overhaul the anti-graft agency.
“By the grace of God, I will restructure the EFCC when I become the
president of this nation. I will reorganize EFCC and make it looks
responsible.
“They detained me in 2008, but I won them in court, because the most high God was on my side.
“EFCC is senseless body, because if they are not senseless, it should
have known that the man who wrote the petition had been sacked because
he didn’t deserve to be called a civil servant. The arrest of my
officials was orchestrated by Ekiti indigenes in collaboration with the
EFCC.
“I will never go and beg EFCC, it will rather beg me. I won’t
negotiate anything because I am not afraid of them. There was a
subsisting court that barred them from arresting any official of this
state, but they breached the law”, he said.
He said this on Thursday during a grand reception organised for his aides who were arrested by the EFCC.
Fayose further said President Muhammadu Buhari was punishing the
citizens of this state illegally, saying,“he has not tarred one
kilometer of road since he came into office.
“This was the way the DSS arrested Hon Afolabi Akanni . They even
stopped the state allocation at a time, but whatever they do, Ekiti
shall put them to shame.”
