The Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose, has berated the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for putting his name on its watch list, describing such move as political and petty.
The EFCC had written the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to place Fayose on criminal watch list, warning that contrary to his letter that he would submit himself for probe after he must have handed over to the Governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi, on October 16, he might run away.
But in his reaction as contained in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, on Sunday, the governor said he was not ready to run away and that they should expect him.
The statement reads: “EFCC, when a woman is being brought to you as a wife, you don’t have to peep through the window to see her. As I said in my letter, Insha Allah, I will be in your office on October 16, a day after the expiration of my tenure.

“EFCC putting my name on watch list after notification of my coming is not only political but petty. I’m not among those who are afraid to face tomorrow. Nobody is God.
“They should expect me on October 16, 2018.
“I will remain in PDP not minding their intimidation.”
