Former Minister of Aviation and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Femi Fani-Kayode, has lambasted the presidency and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for placing Governor Ayodele Fayose name on a watch list.
Fani-Kayode noted that “as a sitting Governor, Ayo Fayose has full immunity and can travel to any country that he pleases until his tenure lapses”.
The former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan accused the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of being petty.

He wrote on Twitter,
I have never seen such pettiness in my entire life. As a sitting Governor, Ayo Fayose has full immunity and can travel to any country that he pleases until his tenure lapses.
The Buhari administration is utterly shameless. No man is God and their time will soon be over.
Meanwhile, Governor Fayose wondered why his name was placed on a watch list when he had already informed the Commission of his willingness to answer any questions they might have for him when he leaves office.
Governor Fayose also denied claims that he plans to fly out of the country as soon as his tenure ends and insists that despite intimidation by the EFCC he will remain in the PDP.
In a tweet on Sunday, the governor said the anti-graft agency should expect him after he hands over power on October 16, as he earlier promised.
He added that he is not afraid of being investigated.

@officialEFCC putting my name on watch list after notification of my coming is not only political but petty. I’m not among those who are afraid to face tomorrow. Nobody is God.
They should expect me on October 16, 2018.
I will remain in PDP not minding their intimidation.— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) September 16, 2018
