Former governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has reacted to the purported arrest of the immediate past governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Fayose, who himself, is no stranger to the EFCC net, while welcoming the former governor of Imo State “To the Club,” also charged the anti graft agency to go after the immediate past governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun.
He took to twitter to make the following statement;
“Just reading that Okorocha was arrested by EFCC. True or not, we knew this day will come. However, I welcome him to the EFCC Alumni & enjoin the commission not to look away from Amosun too. While I encourage them to surrender themselves as I did,I welcome Mr Okorocha to the club”

Fayose remains fondly remembered for willingly turning himself in to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, a day after leaving office and handing over to Kayode Fayemi as the Ekiti Governor.
Meanwhile, The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has reported rejected claims that it arrested the former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, following his official handover to his successor, Emeka Ihedioha, on Wednesday.
Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party had won the Imo governorship election that held on March 9, defeating 69 others, including Okorocha’s anointed candidate and son-in-law, Uche Nwosu of the Action Alliance.
The defeat came amid an intra-party crisis involving Okorocha, who belongs to the All Progressives Congress, and the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshimohole, that has yet to be resolved.
In the light of Okorocha’s exit from office as governor of Imo, reports began to circulate online on Thursday that he had been arrested by the EFCC.
