The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to drag
former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, to court.
Fayose has spent more than 24
hours in the custody of the EFCC after he surrendered himself to the anti-graft
agency’s Abuja office on Tuesday afternoon.
The EFCC told NAN yesterday that
the former governor was still in its custody, going through interrogations.
But in a statement by the
Publicity Secretary of the PDD, South West, Ayo Fadaka, the party noted that it
was approaching 48 hours of detention.
The statement said, “We,
therefore, hold firmly that if Fayose is not charged to court immediately to
answer to whatever charges against him, then it will be very clear that the
Buhari administration is merely using the EFCC to intimidate, harass and punish
him in the most unjust manner.
“It is now going to 48 hours that
he submitted himself to the agency and he is still being held incommunicado,
this development proves that the claim by the EFCC that it is actually working
in public interest is a lie.
“It is merely playing a partisan
card as attested to by its unfortunate tweet in the immediate aftermath of the
Ekiti election.”
