Former Ekiti governor Ayo Fayose voluntarily reported at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) office in Jabi, Abuja, as he promised.
He reported Tuesday afternoon, although about one hour later than he promised, wearing a T-shirt with the inscription, ‘EFCC I’m here’.
He arrived along with Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers and former aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode.
The former Ekiti governor, whose successor, Kayode Fayemi was sworn in today, carried a travelling bag, in case the EFCC decides to hold him overnight.
Fayose had promised to voluntarily turn himself to EFCC by 1pm today to respond to allegations against him.
His immunity as governor expired midnight Monday as his predecessor and successor Kayode Fayemi took the oath of office.

“Tell them at the Villa; my name is Ayodele Fayose, Peter the Rock. By the Grace of God, I will be at the EFCC on Tuesday by 1pm. I am not a coward”, he told a dinner party held in his honour by fellow PDP governors and party stalwarts.
“Let it be said to them that today is their own. Tomorrow is our own. I will not run away, they will rather run away. They took me to Court 13 years ago, I won after eight years.
“They harassed my family and I got judgment three times against them. This time will not be an exception. Those who wait for me will wait in vain. EFCC is no court”.
