Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose who is being investigated for allegedly
receiving N1.3 billion from the arms deal fraud, says no amount of
intimidation and harassment will make him shut his mouth as he is not
afraid of incarceration or death. Fayose said this during a rally
organized by a newly formed Ekiti State Private Sector Union in Ado
Ekiti today July 8th;
“They said I collected a sum of N1.3 billion from the office of the
former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki to fund my election.
Some even said I collected it through Mr Musiliu Obanikoro. Let me put
it on records that I did not know Col Dasuki, and Obanikoro has not come
out openly to indict me, because he has not returned from abroad. No
act of intimidation and harassment will shut my mouth. I will continue
to talk about national issues. Somebody from Ekiti gave President Buhari
N1.5b for campaign, but today he is being seen as a saint. When you
want to campaign or do marriage , people will give you money and my own
can’t be an exemption. Would I now return the remaining money after the
campaign? I am not afraid of incarceration or death. APC problem is 2018
and as the God liveth, they are going nowhere. We will stand up and
defend our state and the money they said they have gotten through
anti-corruption should be spent for Nigerians. “
