In a video seen by MoneyCentral, Isaac who is the younger brother of the former governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose, criticised Okowa for alleged fraud.
He said “Nobody probes Governors, even Okowa who they say took N1.something trillions, his sins are forgiven. He is now about going back to the Senate. You can see how we have legalise corruption in our country, while the citizens are hungry, ebi pawaa, ko sonoje meaning no food, iya jenwa meaning we are suffering. You see the sharing envelopes, envelopes and rice during elections.
It would be recalled that on October 15, 2024, the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrested and quizzed Okowa for a week over alleged fraud.
Okowa’s arrest was confirmed by the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale who stated that Okowa was investigated and detained over the alleged diversion of N1.3 trillion.
The N1.3 trillion reportedly represents the 13% derivation fund from the federation account between 2015 and 2023.
