An undaunted Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti State, has said he will not abscond from Nigeria when his immunity from criminal prosecution elapses in October.

“He is not afraid of anything. What are they going to do to him. Is EFCC the court of law?” Mr Fayose’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, spoke during interview.

Mr Fayose, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is slated to hand over power to Kayode Fayemi, who flipped Ekiti State to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Saturday’s governorship election, on October 16.
Mr Fayemi defeated Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, Mr Fayose’s deputy and PDP’s candidate, to reclaim the only South-west state held by PDP.

The state was APC until 2014 when Mr Fayemi, then governor from 2010-2014, lost his first reelection bid to Mr Fayose.

Mr Fayose won the June 2014 election in a landslide, defeating Mr Fayemi in all the 16 local government areas of the state.

Mr Fayose’s status as a PDP heavyweight quickly shaped up, especially as the only PDP governor in the Yoruba part of the country. He was later joined by then-Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko, who defected to the PDP from Labour Party in October 2014.

Mr Olusola-Eleka won in four local governments while Mr Fayemi won in 12 local governments.

Shortly after the election result was announced on Sunday, insinuations filtered that Mr Fayose may flee the country to avoid possible criminal charges as soon as he hands over to Mr 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 Mr Fayemi was declared winner, the anti-graft EFCC posted a tweet threatening to exhume Mr Fayose’s alleged poultry scam case.

Mr 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 EFCC linked to while in office at the 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 prosecution only stopped because Mr Fayose became a governor.

Mr Olayinka said 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?” Mr Olayinka said. “That was how they lied that the governor had a property on Gana Street in Maitama and nothing came out of it.”

Mr Olayinka said Ekiti 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 winner.

“The governor will hand over when the day comes in October,” Mr 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.”

If you run away, you disappoint your numerous fans and the spirit of Ekiti people.

What the pomo cutting loser should know is that he is being closely watched by the security agents and hence cannot flee to anywhere

He can't even run away if he chose to.
Lere, you wouldn't go unpunished.

The Ekiti people have with these results shown that they are educated and cannot be tossed around like grasses in the wind. Four years ago they went back to Egypt but today they are out of Egypt on the way to the promised land. Thanks to Ekiti people for collecting Eleka Olusola and Fayemi 's money and still voted according to their preferences and consciences. The money you all collected is our money. Spend it as you like. It is glarring that Fayose and his tatalong Eleka have lost the goodwill of people who are yet to see communal development they desire and effects of good governance on the masses. Ekiti with people cannot be deceived with stomach infrastructure again. Fayemi the governor elect should use his good intention to put smiles on Ekiti people. To whom much is given much is expected. I rejoice with the winner and sympathise with the loser. Thank you Ekiti .Thank you all the masses in the state. Thank you all the civil servants. Thank you all the youths and students. You are welcome to the promised land flowing with honey and milk.

Igbo sported

The should watch him closely cos in my dream I saw fayose going for medical check up abroad and stayed put like Mrs madueke.....dss efcc, immigration, army, police, customs pls tighten up security...he is not going anywhere

I said it in my previous post, Fayose won’t go on political exile, will stay and fight, his ally Wike will be there for him

dignity33:
Sorry to say this to those that rigged Fayemi to Ekiti people because I see him not assending to that governor seat or even if he does will not last there.

Why? Are you planning to kill him or what?

And for Fayose, the prayer is that you should not run away. There are numerous allegations ranging from murder to corruption that we need you to clear up in a court of law. It will also be appreciated if you don't start talking about witch hunting when the trial commences or resort to Metuh like tactics to delay proceedings.

You people will die because of politicians useless youths.


Those useless youths shouting PDP and APC, fayose and fayemi have you seen their kids insulting themselves or even voted for their parents?


I pity una, God punish all the useless youths in this country that refused to come together and say no to all this old and useless politicians

Apostle Mohammed is this a prophecy or prediction ?

But wait o, even if fayose's candidate won fayose will still step down abi? And that also means that his immunity will be void abi? So whichever way he would still have stepped down..so what's the commotion all about?

I trust my governor, governor fantastic!




Why does he have to run and by the way, can one really run away from the almighty federal government?

My Only worry is the the Partisan nature of a supposed neutral EFCC.
Forget this election, Nigeria is doomed
With Zero hope of getting better!

Nothing is going to happen to Fayose, Lere Olayinka, etc.

A fight against Fayose at this point will give him some sympathy especially from core Ekiti indigenes, not Internet trolls.

Buhari still needs Ekiti votes come 2019.

You guys should stop raising your hopes mindlessly. FFK has done and said more than Fayose and he's right there in his home chilling with his twins.

Meanwhile, "Kuje and Kirikiri prison officers are still waiting to admit corrupt politicians"

Nigerians just love to waste their time on irrelevant expectations, putting too much hope on a man who spent 3 months on Life Support in Germany. Expecting him to come perform some Chinese stunts is a total waste of time, he needs to pour those energy on himself at this point in time.
