Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose has debunked the
claim by former Minister of State for Defence,
Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, that he gave him
(Fayose) part of the money he got from ex-National
Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Fayose said the claim by Obanikoro, who is currently
in EFCC custody, that he collected some money
from him, was a clear indication that he was
drowning and looking for someone to go down with
him.
Speaking with Sun, Fayose said despite the myraids
of allegations leveled against him, he would come
out pure.
He compared his current situation to the Biblical
Jesus, who despite many trials, came out victorious.
He said, “I wouldn’t want to join issues with EFCC or
Obanikoro. But I remembered very well that
Obanikoro was firing very serious salvos at the EFCC
before now.
“I remembered all his statements in the press, but
this dramatic return, he did not stop at the airport
and there was a clear entrance straight to the EFCC
custody; it simply shows that there is a hand of Saul
in the voice of Jacob.
“I’m used to all these conspiracies and the fact
remains that in all these, Jesus is Lord, in all these,
victory is sure, in all these, I’ve not lost any battle
and I’ll not lose any. Let me believe that Obanikoro
did not say all these because whatever you say, you
would have to prove it in court.
“It is not enough to just say it. If he’s saying all
these to get out of trouble, it is just a drama of the
moment. I know he is looking for ways out of the
quagmire as his house was seized, his bank
accounts were frozen and all that. May be, my
brother and friend, Obanikoro is looking for easy way
out so they have to heap everything on Fayose.
“I’m used to all these. In the meantime, I am busy
as governor of Ekiti delivering good governance to
my people. What they wanted during their conspiracy
at my first tenure was to stop me politically forever.
They didn’t want me to rise politically again; that
was what all the first poultry allegation with EFCC in
2006 is all about but I won.
“Today, I can adjudge what would happen tomorrow
by the victory of yesterday. So, their fear is my
rising profile: their fear is – where is this Fayose
going?
“Don’t you forget that in the Bible, the three wise
men who came to greet Jesus Christ and who saw
tomorrow about Jesus Christ just as the then King
Herod too, saw tomorrow about Jesus Christ and he
told the wise men to come back to him and reveal
where Jesus was so that he could go and kill him.
“But the wise men didn’t go back that way. So, they
saw my tomorrow and knew that I was rising. I’m
going to be among those people that would take
over from them. I have a future, I have greatness
ahead of me and no greatness comes without a
battle and struggle.
“So, they should keep their gun powder dry, behave
like a responsible organization whose strength is in
their coded investigation. They should stop messing
themselves up. You see, nobody knows what would
be the situation in two years time, but when we get
to the bride, we would cross it.
“Again, if Obanikoro says he gave me such huge
money, where did he get it from? Why will he take
such huge cash like that? Why will an honourable
federal minister of the country be saying that he
took cash like this and gave to me?
“You can now see how EFCC operates, but we will
talk about that when we get to court. They are only
looking for ways for nexus, to link me at all cost, to
destroy me at all cost.
‘It is just like in the Bible when they asked the
people should we replace the thief with Jesus for
the punishment but the people said no, it is Jesus
we want.
“So, it’s Fayose that is all they want in all these
drama, I hope that by now, they would have released
all Obanikoro’s confiscated assets and property.”
