Social commentator Isaac Fayose has accused his brother, former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, of planning to arrest him.
Naija News reports that he linked the alleged plot to his comments on the ₦39 billion renovation of the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja.
The businessman had earlier visited the ICC and questioned how the large sum was used for the project.
He demanded public accountability and called for an independent assessment of the work done.
In a video posted late Sunday, Isaac, who is currently abroad visiting his family, alleged that efforts were being made to intimidate his relatives in Nigeria.
He claimed that both Wike and Ayodele Fayose were behind threats of arrest, and said the timing of these threats seemed to come after he had already travelled out of the country.
He insisted that he would not be silenced and that he had already contacted the Code of Conduct Bureau as well as the Nigeria Institute of Quantity Surveyors and Valuers to properly assess the cost and quality of the ICC renovation.
He offered to cover the cost of the evaluation.
He said: “Wike, that ₦37 billion ICC, we go investigate am. Even if dem no investigate am now, after this government we go investigate am. I no run from una. I have sent letters to Code of Conduct, Nigeria Institute of Quantity Surveyors and Valuers to come and value it. I will sponsor it. Do I look like I fit run for you? Make una allow my aged mother to relax well. I’m coming home soon.
“I will investigate Ekiti Airport. I go investigate ICC. If una found wanting, we go catch una now or later. My brother Ayodele, I’m not running for you. Cell is made for people. I’m standing on the truth. Wike you are sitting on tax payers’ money and we can ask you questions at anytime. If this government no allow us investigate you, next government go allow us. I’m ready for arrest.”
