A former Governor of Oyo State, Rashidi Ladoja, on Friday said he was not worried by the ongoing suit instituted against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , adding that he would not refund any money to the anti -graft agency because he did not steal while in government .
The EFCC took Ladoja to court over alleged misappropriation of state funds while in office between 2003 and 2007.
When the case was recently reopened , the EFCC investigator , Abubakar Madaki , who testified against the former governor at the Federal High Court in Lagos , said while in office , Ladoja instructed that N 6 . 6 bn worth of shares belonging to the state be sold at discounted rates without the approval of the state executive council .
Madaki alleged that the money went into private pockets . However , Ladoja denied the allegations.
He said , “ It was true that I did not return any money to the purse of the anti - graft agency because I did not steal state ’ s money . Why would I refund money when I did not steal any money? I am not bordered . It is true that EFCC said I didn’ t refund money . This is because I did not steal any money .
“ The man said Ladoja has not refunded any money and he didn’ t say the amount Ladoja has stolen that has to be refunded . He said EFCC has recovered money from other people but it has not recovered any money from Ladoja, so why must I be worried? I have not refunded any money as he said . As far as I am concern , there is no case there. ”
Ladoja, who last year made his way back to the Peoples Democratic Party , also gave hint that he could leave the party again , citing differences between his group in the Oyo State chapter of the party and the National Working Committee over the formation of the state executive .
He said his group had given the NWC a seven - day ultimatum to address some of the issues he had raised.
“ If I voluntarily went to the PDP and there was something I believed that were not doing the right way, there is no need for me to stay there. We don’ t want the situation that a congress that was done correctly will now be set aside . The stakeholders in Oyo State have decided that if the impunity continues after the seven days ultimatum , we may take our leave . ”
