The governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki, has insisted he is ready to make himself available to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) if they require his presence.

Obaseki made this known during the EdoBEST National Results-Sharing Session in Abuja on Wednesday.

He emphasized that he is not afraid of the EFCC, stating that he would willingly surrender himself to them if needed, as he has nothing to hide.

“I’m not afraid of the EFCC. Why should I be? What is important is focus. I came into office and ignored the noise, concentrating on what I felt was important, and today you can see the results,” Obaseki said.

“If the EFCC calls on me, I will hand myself over; I have nothing to hide.”

The outgoing governor also expressed his belief that the vindictiveness and bitterness in the political landscape are secondary to addressing the real challenges faced by the country.
