Hmmmm this is serious!!!
Sources at Nigeria's premier anti-corruption agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have revealed that a personal account at the Zenith Bank of Nigeria of Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, was frozen in
connection with over N1.2billion he took in 2014 from the disgraced National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, to prosecute his re-election as governor.
Several of the operatives said the action came at the end of agency’s year-long investigation into the matter.
SR sources claim Mr. Fayose received huge sums of money from the office of the NSA that was meant for arms procurement, with which he meticulously bribed security officials and voters to get into the Ekiti governorship for the second time.
At least three security agencies which investigated the fraud found that the governor stole monies meant for national security, and deposited them into his personal account. N500m was traced to the now-frozen Zenith Bank account.
The Nigerian Army referred some of the officers who took a bribe from Mr. Fayose to the EFCC after some of them were compulsorily retired from service.
It would be recalled that in 2014, SaharaReporters obtained an audio tape in which Mr. Fayose, the then Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro; Minister for Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, and Osun State Senator, Iyiola Omisore, connived with army officers to harass and arrest members of the opposition party in order to facilitate Mr. Fayose's re-election.
While Mr. Obanikoro at first attempted to deny the authenticity of that tape, which had been discreetly made by Captain Sagir Koli, a patriotic army captain, Mr. Adesiyan confirmed it to be genuine.
After his election, Mr. Fayose deposited the monies into his personal account and that of his Spotless Hotel in Ekiti, venue of the infamous rigging meeting.
The EFCC said it is sure to prosecute those involved in the fraud in the coming days.
Nigeria politics is so vindictive, why not come with a clean slate for all since we want to fight corruption. I have already lost faith in this goverment, hope they prove me wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt's only this government that is vindictive!...
DeleteI'm crying already...how I wish I can do something for Fayose...
Great news!
ReplyDeleteThe man has immunity, so they cannot arrest him until after office. But na wa oh. No wonder he was saying that they want to impeach him, just yesterday. This is getting serious.
ReplyDeleteThis is gerrin serious...
ReplyDeleteBuhari is just shutting down his oppositions. FFK and now Fayose.
ReplyDeleteI see their plan to claim opposition worked ...
DeleteNigeria is truly a ZOO.
ReplyDeleteFayose might get a way with it coz of immunity
ReplyDeleteBut on a serious note, what business is he into that will yield that huge amount in one of his private accounts?
This is pure tyranny.
ReplyDeleteThis man has immunity and pmb shouldnt allow his level of reasoning to jeopardize the democracy we have.
Fayose disnt make this law and as such pmb should respect the law.
In the wrote up, it said he collected money to prosecute his election and then now it says he deposited the money after his election, so how is it that its money he used to win that he deposited abi he collected it back after spending it?
Let them wait till 2018 when he leaves power, then they can prosecute him. They should gather their evidence now.
Pls no one should type thrash under my comment. I am entitled to my opinion. If you dont agree, type urs lets read. But all i have written is the fact. This is a democracy and we have laws that must be respected.
Rather this govt should go after all these directors and perm secs as they are the biggest and most corrupt sets of individuals in this country. All the mansions in maitama, asokoro and wuse2 are majorly for these guys. And my favorite quote: "you know i dont sign cheques". But so also does dasuki, dieziani, fayose, etc do not aign cheques na.
Food for thought: if all the money they claim was used to win all elections by the pdp is dasukigate, where is the over 21bn raised by GEJ alone? Minus the other several billions raised by pdp?
Thank you!...
DeleteI'm so pained!...
Exactly. Pure tyranny.. Misuse of power.. And people will still come and defend this said act and label it fight against corruption. You can fight corruption but do it at the appropriate time. He won't be governor forever. Once he leaves office you can then send your dogs after him. Not when he is under immunity..
DeleteThe president chosen the law to follow and that which not to follow. Not following court orders, doing what pleases him that is outside the Constitution and all..
Take us back to military regime already or respect the rule of law
Your defense is baseless, all dubious transactions under the former NSA is under investigation, such funds are being frozen pending conclusion.
DeleteNo one is persecuting him yet, he owes Nigerians an explanation on how his private account got credited by the office of the NSA.
NSA office has nothing to do with PDP campaign fund.
A state governor trying to commit treason or a terror act will definitely not be covered by immunity. The state comes before him.
FFK, Metuh, Fayose and Co money emanated from Office of the NSA, why? What happened to PDP secretariat?
Anonymous J...pls show me in that whole write up where it mention his account being credited my the nsa.
DeleteWhile some people will label this corruption fight all is see is systematic silencing of the opposition,we are being dragged by the scruff of our neck back into the days of tyranny,it is sad ,very sad.
ReplyDeleteHe doesnt get that opposition is allowed in democracy.
DeleteNo one is saying dont fight corruption but do it within the armbit of the law. Not use federal might to silence the opposition
Hian
ReplyDeleteThis deaf dullardinho, don't know his limits. This executive impunity and rascality are becoming unbearable. Little wonder most Nigerians want him dead already.
ReplyDeleteU remain a bastard
DeleteAnon at this rate, I think you need love and care, is not easy defending a deaf dullardinho.
DeleteBuhari and his EFCC dogs are really acting out of line
ReplyDeleteThey looked for every means to implicate Fayose and found none so they had to come up with this.
See them see their end.
Exactly...
DeleteGood! Workers in ekiti are been owed for months so I don't care! State workers to be precise!
ReplyDeleteWorkers in other states are being owned too...so shut up!...
DeleteIs this true federalism and democracy??
ReplyDeleteI thought sitting presidents and governors are immune to all this until they leave office?? That's how it's always been. You wait for them to leave office before going hard against them..
This is not democracy!...
DeleteWe are back to the military era...
Just criticize Vuharia and you are gone!...
First it's Nnamdi Kanu...
Then Olisa Metuh...
Followed by FFK and
Now Fayose!...the only reason why he is not behind bars is because of his immunity!...
I wonder who will be the next maybe Reno Omokri!...
Nonsense!,..
Useless APC and their foolish Vuharia ga anwu very soon..
There own turn will surely come!...
Fuck @APC
ReplyDeleteFuck @Buhari
Fuck @EFCC
Fuck @Tinubu
Fuck all dem Anti-PDP
Fuck all dem Anti-@Good luck jona

DeleteExcuse me?? Are u kidding me? I'd pretend I didn't see this.
DeleteLmao pls call the china president , your paddy to come and help you Fayose ! Ur own don be !
ReplyDeletei hope you are feeling the heat that workers are feeling in Ekiti state, you refuse to pay salary and yet just cos your account was frozen you are bitter about it. nonsense.............
ReplyDeleteHe stole monies meant for national security and deposited into his personal accounts? All of them that shared that security money should face the Law.
ReplyDeleteFoul-mouthed Fayose. So those civil servants he Compulsorily Retired blew the whistle on him?
And Fayose,Mrs Esther is looking for u o.
No one on (e) hearth can stop us except God stop us.
And pls if EFCC calls u on your three phones pls answer. I know you have three phones, one for officia and one for work and one for ur family.
Pls Fayose we know u are not a human beings. You are a spirit. We know you are light. You were born Light. No u are not a miscreant. And who said you have a reversible brain?
Hahahhahahahahahhahahahahaha
May the Angels in Heaven make Linda's heart strong enough to to bear this news.
Amaechi and Fashola were accused of corruption yet Vuharia gave them ministers and swept the whole case under the carpet!...
ReplyDeleteShame on Vuharia!...
His business jare!
ReplyDeleteBuhari stop going after your enemies. Nigeria already have enough problem. Leave pdp alone and do ur work as a president. Look at fulani herdsmen killing people all over Nigeria, you haven't done anything about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd the poorest of the poor here will be screaming witch hunting. A thief is a thief, Governor or not. The greedy idiot couldnt even pay his state workers upon all the money he stole plus the bailout,and some marine spirits here and deranged imbeciles out of hate for Buhari will not see what any sane human should see. Na poverty go kill una generation for hugging and supporting looting of public funds.
ReplyDeleteGbam! He should do the needful and stop going after pdp rather than focusing on what he is elected for, poeple are already dying of hunger.
ReplyDeleteThis practice of favoritism, tribalism and nepotism will nor help Nigeria. Fighting corruption shouldn't be one sided else it becomes corruption itself.
ReplyDeleteFor whatever this government thinks they are doing right, their wrongs is soooooo mehn damit
Buhari is just a bigot.
