The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has dared the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to publish the details of the Arms deal scandal extracted from the embattled former National Security Adviser, NSA; Col. Sambo Dasuki.
Ayo Fayose made the call while speaking during an interview programme on a private radio station in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Ekiti state Governor challenged the anti-graft agency to publish transaction details of his personal account which was frozen in order to clear his name from the alleged connection and show the world what is contained in it.
Fayose in s statement released on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi noted that making public the transaction details of the former National security Adviser will clear reveal if truly he received money from the former NSA through the former Defence Minister, Musiliu obanikoro or any other person.
The statement continued: “What I am facing in Ekiti is a war of the elite and incidentally, it is the masses that vote people into office. We know some failed Ekiti politicians who now resume daily in EFCC office to concoct stories and give same to their commissioned newspapers to publish. It is only one or two newspapers that always have their so called exclusive stories and they follow the same pattern.
“The EFCC is only engaged in mind game. They think they can wear me out, that is not possible as God is on my side because I stand for the truth. EFCC has not told Nigerians how money was
wired to me. They must be responsible to do investigation that would not be a media issue. What the EFCC and their APC collaborators are trying to do is to set the people of the state against me and they have failed.
It added: “In my two accounts that they have frozen, I have N300 million in the fixed deposit one and N82 million in the other. Both accounts and my properties were duly declared in my Asset Declaration Form. They are treading the same 2006 path and they will fail woefully by the grace of God. What they did in 2006, the Supreme Court declared it illegal and I came back to office exactly eight years after. It means one of us lied and was mischievous”.
