Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said he would honour the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) if invited at the end of his tenure on May 29.
The Niger Delta-born politician who is notoriously known for his infamous role in rigging presidential poll was reacting to recent revelations by the Chairman of the anti-graft agency, Abdulrasheed Bawa, that the agency would arrest corrupt governors whose tenures will elapse May 29.
Whilr speaking on Channels Television Monday, Wike refuted claims of running away from Nigeria days before the inauguration of his successor as some ex-governors had done in the past.
“I’m not going to run away because of EFCC. Why should they invite me? If they invite me, I will honour their invitation. I will not run away,” Wike emphatically stated.
