Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has faulted the refusal of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to make public the statement it extracted from the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki, in its ongoing probe of money meant for the purchase of arms and the funding of the last general elections in the country. Fayose also asked the anti-graft agency to publish his personal accounts it froze to let the whole world know what is contained therein. According to him; ‘’Dasuki’s statement, will at least show whether the ex-NSA gave money to former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro or anybody to give me (Fayose).’’ The governor threw the challenge, weekend, while featuring on an interview programme on a radio station.
In a statement yesterday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor said: “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 for publication. 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 a 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.
