Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has expressed his readiness to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, if the agency requires his presence in connection with his eight years of stewardship in the state.
Obaseki stated this on Wednesday during the EdoBEST National Results-Sharing Session in Abuja, where he highlighted his administration’s achievements.
“I’m not afraid of the EFCC. Why should I be? What is important is focus. I came into office and ignored the noise, concentrating on what I felt was important, and today you can see the results,” Obaseki said.
“If the EFCC calls on me, I will hand myself over; I have nothing to hide.”
The outgoing governor also expressed his belief that the vindictiveness and bitterness in the political landscape are secondary to addressing the real challenges faced by the country.
