Former Ekiti Governor Fayemi Denies Allegations of N4bn Fraud, Vows Cooperation with EFCC.
Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the immediate past governor of Ekiti State, has refuted rumors surrounding an alleged N4 billion fraud investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Following his visit to the EFCC’s Ilorin office on Thursday, where he voluntarily presented himself for questioning, Fayemi’s spokesperson, Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, issued a statement on Friday to address the circulating speculation.
Sajoh clarified that Fayemi, who also served as the former Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF), had engaged in fruitful discussions with EFCC investigators during his visit. Contrary to the rumors, he emphasized that Fayemi was not under probe but had visited the EFCC office alongside his legal counsel to address any inquiries that may have arisen.

As a prominent member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Fayemi is committed to upholding transparency and accountability at all levels of government. His decision to willingly cooperate with the EFCC and make himself available for questioning demonstrates his dedication to fulfilling this commitment. Non-compliance, he recognized, could have led to negative assumptions and a dent in his reputation.
