Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says he is leaving office
as a “fulfilled” public servant.
Speaking on Wednesday at the inauguration of the Rumuigbo
internal road network in the Obio-Akpor LGA of the state, Wike said he is not
afraid of being investigated by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
after leaving office on May 29.
Wike said he won’t run away from the state to evade any
probe by the anti-graft agency, adding that his administration has done several
projects to justify how public funds were spent.
“I’m happy that I am leaving office fulfilled. I’m leaving
office with my shoulders high. I am leaving office very well,” Wike said.
“I’m not leaving
office to run away so that EFCC would not come (to probe me). I’m leaving
office and I will stay here (Rivers). I am not going anywhere.”
Wike asked Siminialayi Fubara, the governor-elect, to show
EFCC the projects completed by his administration if the commission visits the
state.
Wike’s comment comes days after Abdulrasheed Bawa, chairman
of the EFCC, reportedly said the commission will go after some outgoing
governors and other public officials after May 29.
