Recall, that the All Progressives Congress, APC, Candidate, Kayode Fayemi, defeated Professor Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, Fayose’s Deputy and PDP’s candidate, to reclaim the only South-West State, currently held by the PDP.
Shortly after the Saturday election results were announced on Sunday, insinuations filtered that Fayose may flee the country, to avoid possible criminal charges, as soon as he hands over to Fayemi, in three months time.
Other critics of the Governor were even more brutal, saying he had concluded plans to hand over to his successor and flee the country days before his tenure expires.
Hours after Fayemi was declared winner, the EFCC posted a tweet threatening to exhume Fayose’s alleged poultry scam case.
You would recall that Fayose was removed from office on allegations that he looted funds meant for poultry farming, in 2006.
He was being prosecuted for that scandal and other similar cases of infractions, which the EFCC linked to him, while in office at that time.
The EFCC was criticised for the statement, which was taken down a few hours later.
The Agency, however, clarified later that the matter was never dormant, saying that prosecution only stopped because Fayose became a Governor.
Olayinka said that there was no way the EFCC would be able to pin anything on his principal, whom he said would be willing to turn himself in, after leaving office.
“Since 2015, that they started talking about Sambo Dasuki, how many Nigerians have they convicted?
“That was how they lied that the Governor had a property on Gana Street, in Maitama, and nothing came out of it”, Olayinka declared.
Olayinka stated further, that Ekiti State has been “under siege”, since the electioneering kicked into full gear, two weeks ago in the State, a situation he said persisted even after the Federal Government had its favourite person as the winner.
“The Governor will hand over when the day comes in October”, Olayinka said.
“And if it is necessary that he should go to the EFCC for questioning after leaving office, he will go and meet them”, Olayinka added.
