Former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has honored the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, September 18, 2024. According to a statement from Ohiare Michael, Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, the decision followed consultations with his family, legal team, and political allies.
The statement emphasized the former governor’s commitment to the rule of law and respect for constituted authority. It highlighted that Bello had sought only to enforce his fundamental rights, ensuring due process throughout the legal proceedings. His legal team has represented him in court at every hearing.
Now, by accepting the EFCC’s invitation, Bello aims to clear his name, confident that he has nothing to hide or fear. He remains a firm supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and its efforts to fight corruption and drive Nigeria toward sustainable economic development.
