Emerging facts, revealed that the embattled Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has allegedly reached out to President Muhammadu Buhari, for soft landing, over the multi-billion dollar corruption allegations against him, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Post-Nigeria has authoritatively gathered.
A top source, who spoke to Post-Nigeria on Sunday night, said that Fayose is trying to feather his nest, ahead of what awaits him, immediately he hands over in 2018.
“Fayose is a smart politician. He knows what awaits him. Obanikoro has leaked his secret. The wind has blown; we are now seeing the anus of the cock. He is trying to use Segun Oni, to solicit for audience with the President. If Fayose has the opportunity, he will dump PDP,” the source said.Speaking further, the source said: “The EFCC has a strong case against Fayose. I tell you, immediately the Immunity Clause is lifted, he will be giving Dasuki’s kind of treatment”.
This revelation, came as Fayose on Sunday, November 6, paid a surprise visit to a former Ekiti State Governor, and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Segun Oni, at his Ifaki Ekiti country home.
Oni, is the National Vice Chairman of the APC South West zone.
Reacting to the barrage of criticism that greeted the visit, Fayose, through his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, said it was a courtesy visit.
The statement quoted the Governor as saying, “leadership comes first, Ekiti comes first, and leadership is about sacrifice to make for the purpose of unity. That is exactly what I am doing.
“There is a difference between leadership and politics. To me, Ekiti comes first, every leader willing to make Ekiti first, I will visit him. I am the Governor of the State, and everybody is my subject. My visit to Segun Oni, has nothing to do with politics. When it comes to how to move Ekiti forward, we must firstly remove our political garment.”
Recall, that Fayose’s sudden visit, came barely a few days when the former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and close confidant of the Ekiti State Governor, Musiliu Obanikoro, was released on bail by the EFCC.
Barely 24 hours after his detention, Obanikoro implicated Fayose in the N4.745 billion corruption scandal, known as ‘Ekiti gate’.
He said N2.23 billion was transferred to Fayose, out of the slush funds. He noted that out of the sum, he handed over $5,377,000 to Fayose in cash, and N1.3 billion, was received by the Governor’s Associate, Abiodun Agbele.
Obanikoro, admitted that the N1.3 billion was flown to Akure airport in two chartered flights, for delivery to Agbele. The money was sourced from the $2.1 billion meant for arms from the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA.
Before Obanikoro’s confession, the personal accounts of Fayose, and those of some of his Associates, were frozen by the EFCC.
Also, fayose once raised alarm, over a report that he was placed on travel restriction by President Buhari’s order.
Political Analysts; however, have observed that the only way for Fayose to escape the planned arrest, handcuffed, and indefinite detention, was for the Governor to seek for political compromise.
Post-Nigeria, learnt that the first political compromise, was Fayose’s recent defence of the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, and the constant romance with the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola.
Although, some political watchers on the other side have maintained that Fayose’s visit to Oni, might be connected to the recent waves of realignment, come 2019, against Buhari.
All efforts made by Post-Nigeria to contact Fayose’s Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, for comments, proved abortive, as he was not picking his calls.
