Ex governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, says he would visit the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, October 16, with his bedclothes and pillowcase.
Fayose, whose tenure ended at midnight on Monday, October 15, was invited to the anti-graft agency’s headquarters, where he will answer questions relating to the allegations that he received about N1.3bn from the Office of the National Security Adviser through the then minister of state for defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro., Punch reports.

NAIJ.com gathers that he stated: “I will be there on Tuesday. I am not begging for any bail. It is up to them. If they want me, they should just give me a bed.
“I have done by bed bedclothes, I have done my pillowcase, I have my English and Yoruba bibles. I am prepared for them. Nobody should worry about me. Only cowards die many times before their deaths.”
A source close to Fayose also reportedly disclosed that he would be accompanied to the EFCC headquarters with some Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors and lawmakers.
The source stated: “Fayose will be going to the EFCC with governors and lawmakers. It will be the same way Senate President Bukola Saraki was accompanied by his colleagues when he went to the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
“We will be there to give him all the encouragement he needs.”
