The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the arrest of two key officials of the Ekiti
State Government.
This is contained in a terse
statement issued Thursday evening by spokesman of the commission, Wilson
Uwujaren.
He identified the officials as
the Commissioner for Finance and the Accountant General of the state.
Uwujaren said they were picked up
by EFCC operatives “following their refusal to honour previous invitations for
interrogation in relation to pending investigation on the misuse of bail out
funds by the Gov. Ayodele Fayose administration”.
The development occurred as
Governor Ayo Fayose declared his intention to run for president in 2019.
Fayose said he will contest on
the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Fayose assured that he will run a
purposeful government that will cater for all Nigerians irrespective of
religion or tribe.
He lamented the state of Nigeria
and urged the party to support him become the country’s next leader.
He said in speech: “Our economy
will be revived and returned to the path of progress that it was before we had
the misfortune of having these clueless people in power.
“We will ensure diversification
of the economy through agriculture, adequate supply of power and massive
industrialization, thereby creating employment for our youths. We can do it,
and we will do it.
“With me as your President, you
can be rest assured of a government that will be responsive to your needs.
“You are guaranteed a federal
government that will relate with all Nigerians not on the basis of ethnicity,
religion, political affiliations and the percentage of votes but on equity and
justice as citizens of one nation, one people, and one destiny.
“My party leaders, I present
myself to you as the needed vehicle for our party to move back to the
presidency. I am doing so because I am confident that with God and all of you
behind me, we can do it, and we will do it.”
