Nigerians React As Fayose Welcomes Rochas Okorocha To ‘EFCC Alumni’

A storm of reactions by Nigerians has greeted a comment made the immediate past governor of Ekiti state, southwest Nigeria, Ayodele Fayose, welcoming Rochas Okorocha to ‘EFCC Alumni‘ in reaction to the purported arrest of the former Imo state Governor by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Naija News recalls that a report emerged earlier today alleging that Okorcha had been arrested by the anti-graft agency.

However, when contacted, the spokesperson of the Commission, Tony Orilade, described the report as “fake news.”

Orilade said, “Such report that Okorocha and wife have been arrested is fake news, disregard it.”

Reacting to the news of Okorocha’s purported arrest in a tweet, Fayose said: “Just reading that Okorocha was arrested by EFCC. True or not, we knew this day will come. However, I welcome him to the EFCC Alumni & enjoin the commission not to look away from Amosun too.

“While I encourage them to surrender themselves as I did, I welcome Mr Okorocha to the club,” Fayose tweeted.
