Former governor of Kwara State, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed was yesterday a guest of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Ilorin, the state capital.
Though LEADERSHIP could not immediately ascertain the reason for the invitation of Ahmed by the commission, it was learnt that the former governor was interrogated by the operatives of EFCC.
The former governor after leaving the EFCC office confirmed his invitation by the agency.
Ahmed described his invitation by the EFCC, “as not only a routine one but also procedural.”
In a statement issued by his former chief press secretary, Wahab Oba, Ahmed said he was invited by the EFCC, and he was in Ilorin to honour the invitation as he has always been doing and still ready to do.
“I’ve always expressed my willingness to answer any query or question about my stewardship as a governor of the state.
“So, my visit on invitation to the agency’s office today is in tandem with my readiness and preparedness to account for my stewardship. There’s nothing unusual about the invitation and my honouring the anti-graft agency today as always,” he said.
