The immediate-past Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has said he would be visiting the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday to defend himself against corruption allegations laid against him.
Fayose made this known in a tweet via his verified Twitter handle.
He disclosed that he was taking the action to prove he is a man of his words and challenged associates of President Muhammadu Buhari accused of corruption to toe the line.
The ex-governor said, “In few minutes, I will be at the EFCC Old Office, Wuse 2, Abuja.
“I’m a man who stands by his words and I hope that after today, those President Buhari’s men that have been accused of corruption will also be bold enough to submit themselves to the EFCC.”

Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had on Monday raised the alarm over an alleged plot by the Federal Government to keep Fayose incarcerated endlessly.

Fayose had on Monday accused the EFCC of plotting to invade his Abuja home on Monday despite his assurance that he would make himself available to them at the expiration of his tenure today.
He said, “It is known to the public that I offered to make myself available at the EFCC office today.
“However, as I write, there are strange movements around my residence and I’m aware of planned invasion any moment from now.
“Despite this, I’Il be at the commission’s office tomorrow as promised.”
Armed men of the EFCC in three Toyota Hilux vehicles allegedly later invaded the home on Monday.
