Afrigather We want to tackle the issues surrounding the invitation and subsequent go to of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the quick previous governor of Ekiti State and former Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Discussion board (NGF), to the Ilorin Zonal Workplace of the Financial and Monetary Crimes Fee (EFCC).
Final month, Dr. Fayemi acquired an invite from the Ilorin workplace of the EFCC concerning a cash laundering petition towards him. It was in the course of the peak of the preparations for the change of presidency, with many actions and programmes lined up as a part of the occasion.

Yesterday morning, accompanied by his Counsel, Dr. Fayemi visited the EFCC Ilorin Workplace, participating in fruitful discussions with the investigators earlier than being allowed to depart after a couple of hours.
We firmly imagine that Dr. Fayemi’s go to has offered solutions to the company’s inquiries concerning the petition. Nevertheless, ought to there be a necessity for additional clarification, Dr. Fayemi stands able to cooperate totally.
We want to be aware, too, that opposite to the information that made the rounds a couple of purported N4b fraud case towards Dr. Fayemi, no such allegation was raised in his dialog with the EFCC.
All he did was reply to a frivolous petition from a faceless group, the so-called Ekiti Patriotic Coalition, which we strongly believed is a entrance for some anti-Fayemi politicians, who’re attempting to soil the previous governor’s good identify and picture.
All through his tenure, Dr. Fayemi served the folks of Ekiti State with utmost dedication and is famend for his principled management.

We affirm that Dr. Fayemi will proceed to uphold the very best requirements of integrity that he’s identified for, and we belief that the reality will prevail in the end.
