Outgoing Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, has expressed his willingness to voluntarily submit to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should the anti-graft agency require him following his eight-year tenure.
He made the statement in Abuja on Thursday during the EdoBEST National Results-Sharing Session, where he highlighted his administration’s educational achievements.
Obaseki’s expressed willingness to submit himself and cooperate with the EFCC contrasts sharply with the attitude of the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, who has till date ignored the summon of the anti-graft agency and defied different attempts to arrest him with the aid of the Usman Ododo, the sitting governor of Kogi State, using his constitutional immunity to ferry him out of the reach of EFCC operatives, on at least two occasions.
