The
governor of Ekiti State,Ayo Fayose stated that the anti-corruption commission
had shifted attention to the finances of Ekiti State after what he claimed to
be the failure of the commission to link him with the diversion of arms funds
at the NSA’s office under Dasuki.
Fayose,
who spoke on Orange FM
station in Akure, Ondo State, on Thursday, said the EFCC had
started harassing banks in Ekiti State, seeking for records of government
finances, on allegations that the contractors gave him (governor) kickbacks.
“They
are on vendetta mission. They said I collected money from Dasuki and I have
told them that I did not collect a dime from Dasuki. I have N300m in my fixed
deposit account in Zenith Bank and I declared it in my Asset Declaration Form.
“I
have challenged them to publish the statement made to the EFCC by Dasuki where
he said he gave Senator Musiliu Obanikoro money to give me or where Obanikoro himself
said he gave me money.’’
Fayose
called for proper restructuring of the country in line with the report of the
2014 National Conference.
“Nigeria
has not been properly structured and that’s why we are facing all these
problems.
Remember
it was those in power now that clamoured for restructuring when they were in
opposition. Now that they have the federal powers and they are using the powers
to oppress the people, they are against the restructuring of Nigeria,” he said.
