office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja.
Fayose had earlier notified the EFCC that he will make himself available
immediately his tenure expires.
He was on Tuesday accompanied to the anti-graft agency’s office by Nyesom
Wike, governor of Rivers state, and Femi Fani-Kayode, former minister of
aviation.
Wearing a black t-shirt with the inscription “EFCC, I’m here”, the
ex-governor said: “I am here in line with my promise that I will be here
on the 16th of October, and like I said to EFCC, they should await my
arrival.
“This morning, they have been to my house which I think its unnecessary.”
Also speaking, Wike said: “He wrote to the EFCC that he will submit
himself on the 16th of October.
“So let Nigerians know that he came by himself to EFCC without anybody
harassing him, so that’s why I brought him here.”
Fayose was seen with a bag filled with his clothes.
A day after the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti, the EFCC hinted
that it would investigate the integrated poultry project of Fayose’s
administration.
The anti-graft agency filed the N1.3bn fraud case against Fayose in 2005.
The case led to his impeachment from office in 2006.
“The parri is over; The cloak of immunity torn apart, and the staff
broken. #Ekiti Integrated Poultry Project/Biological Concepts Limited
N1.3bn fraud case file dusted off the shelves. See you soon,” EFCC tweeted
on its official handle.
The tweet was later deleted by the anti-graft agency.
