The acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has stated that the anti-graft agency is only concerned about the case they have against Ayodele Fayose, not a video showing him dancing with a white woman.
Magu’s spokesperson, Tony Amokeodo, said,
”We are not going to react to that video (on) the grounds that the EFCC is prosecuting him, not persecuting him,” Mr Amokeodo said.
”Besides, the court granted him permission to travel abroad for medical attention. We are of the opinion that the former governor would have to be in court and that his trial is on course. And we will definitely meet him on the next adjourned date.
Meanwhile, Fayose has reacted to the backlash from his detractors on the video, who wondered if he really went abroad for medical reasons or for enjoyment.
He tweeted:
“Once again, Happy New Year to everyone, particularly my haters politically or otherwise.
“How far can you go in your machinations? Definitely nowhere. Remember; ‘He that is blessed of God cannot be cursed’.
“I will remain your headache in 2020 if you don’t repent.
“These ‘hailers’, when I was on their case, they were crying. Now I’m on my own lane enjoying my life, they are still crying and sucking.
“Expect more so you can cry more. I’m o n medical check-up, not admission. Celebrating New Year is my right, haters can hug transformer.”
