After May 29, when his term as governor of Rivers State finishes, Governor Nyesom Wike has declared that he will not flee Nigeria out of fear of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC.
The governor was responding to recent comments made by Abdulrasheed Bawa, the chairman of the EFCC, who said that the organization would arrest corrupt governors whose terms finish on May 29.
Wike said he would gladly honour the EFCC if invited at the end of his tenure on May 29.
“I’m not going to run away because of EFCC. Why should they invite me? If they invite me, I will honour their invitation. I will not run away,” Wike said on Channels Television, Monday, March 27.
