Governor Fayose has warned President Buhari against army chiefs being probed by the EFCC.
Fayose said on Saturday, January 16, that if the army chiefs are to be probed for their involvement in the $2.1 billion armsgate, then it must be done in accordance with the armed forces rules of engagement.
The governor who spoke through Lere Olayinka, his aide, said: “the $2.1 billion arms deal is a scam because all that they are just doing is to brandish figures to deceive Nigerians and demonise the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and those opposed to his (Buhari’s) dictatorship in the All Progressive Congress (APC).
“Till today, the amount they have charged people for stealing is not up to N10 billion and $2.1 billion they claimed was stolen is about N600 billion.
“The President must let Nigerians see where the arms deal is in the 2015 budget and publish details of the imaginary $2.1 billion scam.
“Also, the President must tell Nigerians how his friend, Jafaru Isa was able to return N100 million to the EFCC within three days because there are insinuations that the N100 million refunded came from the Presidency.”
PM News reports that while reiterating his support for the war against anti-corruption, Fayose said it was strange for serving military generals to be interrogated by junior police officers, adding that “the President should not act in a way that he will be perceived as ridiculing the armed forces.
“Even though I am not a military officer, I know that there is what is called orderly room trial or court martial, which military men who erred in the performance of their duties are made to go through.
