Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has vowed to be prepared for any eventuality when he finally meets operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday, October 16, 2018.

The governor will have his long-awaited showdown with the anti-graft agency in Abuja today as he's the subject of investigations by the agency for financial misconducts.

The governor could not be questioned or prosecuted earlier because of the immunity he enjoyed as governor, an immunity that ends today as governor-elect, Dr Kayode Fayemi, is sworn in.

While speaking to The Punch, the governor said he's going to meet the agency with bedclothes and pillowcase in case he's detained.

He said, "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 my 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."

In a letter he wrote to EFCC acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, in September, Fayose accused the agency of carrying out several unconstitutional actions against him including freezing his accounts and attempting to secure temporary forfeiture of his properties.

Fayose's 'sins'

The governor faces allegations of receiving N1.3 billion from the office of former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, in the run up to the Ekiti State governorship election in 2014.

Fayose is also believed to be under probe for allegedly receiving bribes from various contractors as Ekiti State governor. He is alleged to have used fronts to acquire properties in Lagos and Abuja with bribes from said contractors.

The EFCC is also believed to be investigating him over another alleged N1.3 billion fraud at the Ekiti Integrated Poultry Project Biological Concepts Limited.
