Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike

Rivers governor, Nyesom Wike, has said he will not run away from Nigeria at the end of his tenure on 29 May because of fear of arrest by anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The Governor stated this Monday morning while answering questions during his appearance on Channels Television breakfast programme, Sunrise.

He was reacting to recent revelations by the Chairman of EFCC, Abdulrasheed Bawa, that the anti-graft agency will embark on arrest of corrupt governors whose tenure will expire on May 29 immediately they leave office.

Wike who is suspected to be one of the governors under the radar of the EFCC, said he is not bothered by the threat of the anti-graft agency to arrest governors after their exit from office on 29 May, adding that he will not run away from Nigeria before or after handing over to successor.
