The former governor turned himself today after returning from a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Upon his return he drove himself to the EFCC headquarters in Abuja and turned himself in just several hours ago.
Having contacted EFCC operatives and they confirmed that the former governor was still in interrogation and they did not whether he would be released by tonight.
The interrogation is related to allegations of massive fraud that attended his tenure as governor for 8 years in Kwara State.
It has been alleged that he has been receiving 100 million naira monthly as an illegal pension from the current government of Kwara state.
The fraud & illegal pension was first detected at First City Merchant Bank in Lagos.
Footnote:
This is all about arm twisting for delegate votes in Kwara State. The current Kwara state governor is put there by Saraki. The current governor is willing to give the delegates to a northerner which Jonathan needs. Saraki must fall in line or else.
Na game of politics, if truth be dared.
