Embattled Governor Ayodele Fayose turned a pastor on Thursday over his travails with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He suggested that the EFCC should read a portion of the bible for the purpose of wisdom and knowledge.
Fayose referred the commission to John chapter 8 verses 6-7.
The verse reads: This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. When they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.
Fayose in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi denied the allegation that the office of the national security adviser (NSA) provided funds for his election.
Fayose reiterated his earlier claim that Zenith Bank was his major sponsor. He challenged the bank to debunk his claim, threatening to embark on “my second stage of revelations
The statement read in part:
“I don’t expect an organisation like the accused bank to stay in a corner in matter of national concern like this and be talking.
“Rather, I expect it to issue an official statement not as feeble as this one being peddled in the media so that I can begin the second stage of my revelations.
“My statement was made in the open and if I can accuse an institution like that in the open, I expect the institution to give official reply.
“All what have been claimed to have been said by the bank in the media can be situated in the realm of rumour.
“And I want to refer the All Progressives Congress (APC), the bank and the EFCC to John chapter 8 verses 6-7, which says; “This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
“When they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, he that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone .
“Let those orchestrating this know that failure awaits them.”
