Outgoing Rivers Governor, Nyesom Wike, says he will not run away from being probed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) when he leaves office.
Mr Wike stated this on Wednesday in response to last week’s remarks of Abdulrasheed Bawa, chairman of the anti-graft agency, who has vowed to effect arrest and probe of outgoing governors between May and June.
While inaugurating the Rumuigbo internal road network in the Obio-Akpor LGA of the state, the governor said he was leaving office fulfilled.
“I’m happy that I am leaving office fulfilled. I’m leaving office with my shoulders high. I am leaving office very well,” Wike said. “I’m not leaving office to run away so that EFCC would not come (to probe me). I’m leaving office and I will stay here (Rivers). I am not going anywhere.”
He urged his would-be successor and Rivers Governor-Elect, Siminialayi Fubara, to show the EFCC projects completed by his administration whenever they visit the state.
