My Brother Is Law Abiding – Fayose Brother Speaks

Former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose‘s brother, Jones Omotunde Fayose has said his brother was not nursing any plan to escape from Nigeria.

According to him, Fayose submitted himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, because he was law-abiding and does not fear a fight.

This, Omotunde said at the EFCC office in Abuja, where he and others are demanding the release of the former Governor who submitted himself to the anti-graft agency yesterday.

Fayose arrived the EFCC office yesterday to honour the invitation by the commission and was detained after denying receiving any fund from the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA.

Speaking about his brother’s predicament, Omotunde told reporters, “He [Fayose] followed the rule of law, if there’s any left to Nigeria.

“But he’s here, he surrounded himself. His counsel is here. He’ll comply with anything. Fayose would not run away. Nigerians know that.

“He’s not afraid of a fight. So we thank every Nigerian that is supporting not just Fayose but democracy; that believes in the rule of law; that believes that the President cannot arbitrarily make laws.”
