Who<br \/>\nauthorized the sale? Nigerians want details, not propaganda because most of these properties have been sold and resold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to a statement on Wednesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said \u201cthe federal government should create a website where all the properties recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and to whom they were sold will be listed so that by one click,<br \/>\nNigerians will have information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The governor said it will difficult to trust the EFCC reports on recovered looted funds and properties, asking; \u201cHow can Nigerians continue to trust the position of the same EFCC that said in April 2016 that the allegation of corruption against Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Chairman, Danladi Umar was mere suspicion and would be difficult to proof in court, but now charged the same CCT chairman to<br \/>\ncourt on the allegation it described as mere suspicion?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He said; \u201cOn November 23, 2017, Senator Emmanuel Paulker, the Chairman of the Senate committee investigating the botched reinstatement and promotion of the former Chairman the Presidential Task Force on Pensions, under the leadership of Ibrahim Maina told Nigerians on the floor of the Senate that almost all the exotic properties recovered from alleged looters of Pension Funds had already been re-looted by officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLast year November also, the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), while testifying before the National Assembly alleged that one of the properties recovered from alleged looters of Pension Funds was already sold to a Lagos lawyer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cHow are we now sure that the same people who re-looted the recovered<br \/>\npension loots have not also looted the recovered properties the President said will be sold?\u2019<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Speaking further, Governor Fayose said; \u201cThe federal government cannot<br \/>\ncontinue to tell Nigerians stories without background. The era of Baba has said is gone in Nigeria. The era of the president acting like a lord of manor is gone, we are in a democracy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cMany people were blackmailed and coerced to surrender their properties. A typical case is the one on Malabu Oil where people have been scandalized, harassed and their names destroyed via media trial<br \/>\nand the Attorney General of the Federation now come out to say that there is no enough evidence to try them. What will now happen to the lies told against those people?<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThe federal government should therefore publish and state clearly what has happened in the EFCC between 2006 and now. Nigerians need to know the recovered properties sold by Ibrahim Magu\u2019s predecessor, Ibrahim Lamorde and other previous EFCC chairmen. Those who bought them should be made public too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Jimoh Joseph, Ado-Ekiti Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has told the federal government to publish all the properties it claimed to have recovered and their owners as well as buyers of the properties when they are eventually sold.
