Former Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has not established any fraudulent case against him.
Okowa said he willingly reported to the EFCC office in Port Harcourt, Rivers State to clear himself of any fraudulent act.
The Peoples Democratic Party chieftain said he has nothing to do with the alleged 13 percent derivation fund diversion.
He issued the clarification through his media aide, Mr. Olisa Ifeajika in a statement.
The statement reads partly: “The allegation that the former governor allegedly diverted N1.3 trillion oil derivation funds is as ludicrous as it is outlandish.
“This is just a rehash of the same spurious allegations that some malicious, myopic, vindictive, and prejudiced persons concocted while Okowa was still in office.
“The first point that needs to be made is that the EFCC has not established any case against Dr. Okowa.
“As is customary with the anti-graft agency, the former governor was invited to answer questions relating to some petitions that were filed against him by some disgruntled elements.
“Upon his return from vacation, and as a man with a clear conscience, Dr. Okowa proceeded to the EFCC office in Port Harcourt as requested.
“The substance of the petitions was that Dr. Okowa allegedly corruptly enriched himself and used state resources to acquire 80 percent stake in Premium Trust Bank.
“He was also alleged to have diverted state resources to build housing estates in Asaba and Abuja and two hotels.”
