Former governor of Ekiti State and former chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF), Dr. Kayode Fayemi has reacted to the quiz by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged money laundering.

The former governor said there was no case of a N4 billion fraud case against him as is reported in the media.

In part of a statement signed by Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, Dr Fayemi said: “We wish to note, too, that contrary to the news that made the rounds about a purported N4 billion fraud case against Dr. Fayemi, no such allegation was raised in his conversation with the EFCC. All he did was respond to a frivolous petition from a faceless group, the so-called Ekiti Patriotic Coalition, which we strongly believed is a front for some anti-Fayemi politicians who are trying to soil the former governor’s good name and image. 

“Throughout his tenure, Dr. Fayemi served the people of Ekiti State with utmost dedication and is renowned for his principled leadership.

“As governor, he consistently demonstrated a profound commitment to the welfare of the citizens, driving notable advancements in infrastructure development and attracting valuable investment opportunities to the state.”

“Last month, Dr. Fayemi received an invitation from the Ilorin office of the EFCC regarding a money laundering petition against him. It was during the height of the preparations for the change of government, with many activities and programmes lined up as part of the event.

“A key member of the APC, Dr. Fayemi was already committed to playing important roles at these events and his non-appearance would have impacted them significantly.

“Understanding the significance of his commitments at that time, Dr. Fayemi duly notified the EFCC of his willingness to cooperate but requested a more suitable date for his appearance.”

The statement also added that Fayemi willingly visited the EFCC office with his lawyer and had given his statement before being allowed to go home.
