A statement signed by the Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, Ohiare Michael, revealed that Bello’s decision to appear before the anti-graft agency came after consultations with his family, legal team, and political associates.
The statement was titled “Former Governor Yahaya Bello Honors EFCC’s Invitation.”
According to The Punch, Bello was accompanied to the EFCC headquarters by several high-profile Nigerians.
Yahaya Bello has been in a long-running battle with the anti-graft agency over alleged financial impropriety while he was the Governor of Kogi State. He and three others are facing 19 counts related to money laundering amounting to N80.2 billion.
However, the statement disclosed that the former governor personally engaged with the EFCC to clear his name, stating he has “nothing to hide and nothing to fear.”
It also mentioned that he had previously sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights to ensure due process in the ongoing investigation.
“The case has been before a competent court of jurisdiction, and Alhaji Yahaya Bello had been duly represented by his legal team at every hearing. It is important for the former Governor to now honor the invitation of the EFCC to clear his name as he has nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
“The former Governor firmly believes in the efforts of the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to place Nigeria on the path of sustainable economic development and supports the fight against corruption in the country,” the statement read.
