Barely 24 hours after regaining his freedom, former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has spoken up, maintaining his innocence of all the charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He added that he is being persecuted for his political views and criticism of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
This was contained in a statement made by Fani-Kayode via his Facebook page.
He said: “I am innocent of all charges and I look forward to defending myself vigorously in court.
“These charges are politically motivated and I have been severely punished for my political views and criticisms of the government.
“They are trying to silence me, break me, discredit me and destroy but as long as Jesus is on the throne this will never work.
“I am strong and I am bold and the struggle will continue,”
