Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, says he’s unperturbed about the possibility of being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission or the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.
The governor said he’s aware of the magnitude of enemies he has, hence, he’s very careful in all his dealings and endeavours to follow due process at all times.
Speaking during the foundation laying ceremony of the Erekesan Market in Ado-Ekiti, Fayose said: “I will concentrate on my work and would not be distracted by anybody making effort to discredit my government.”
“I’m ready for any investigation from anybody; ICPC or EFCC, a man with good intentions fears no foe.”
“I know that I have so many enemies and that is why I have been following due process in all my dealings. There are enemies for me when I sleep and when I wake up, so I have to be careful. I don’t want my enemies to latch on to technicalities to get at me.”
“Ekiti is the only state where people want to discredit any good thing you want to do. As a leader, you must be fearless as long as your agenda is for development. I’m assuring you that in spite of the harsh economic situation, I’ll fulfill my promises in the budget and I’ve got more for you. You aren’t seeing anything yet.”
Furthermore, the governor stated that he’s not ‘scared’ about the reports that some PDP politicians were planning to dump the party.
“I am not scared by these defection threats. If you want to go, you better leave now. I always rely on the masses rather than politicians, because they don’t betray like politicians (do).
“Politics is a game and we shall play it for them in 2018. When you make the people your pillar, you will never fail. I am confident that I will defeat them if election is held here 20 times, because I make the masses the pillar of support.”
