Speaking to newsmen, Fayose expressed his readiness to answer any question bordering on his tenure as governor of the State

He said: “I’m a clear conscience, I fear no accusation.

“When I read it online yesterday, that I have been summoned to appear before the House, I called the speaker to confirm the story and when he confirmed it, I told him of my readiness to appear before the House today or anytime.

“This is because I am one Nigerian who is not afraid of being asked
questions and answering them.

“When the EFCC said they needed me, I made myself available to them
at the exact time and day that I promised.

“To me, leadership is about responsibility and we as leaders must
always demonstrate that we are responsible.”
