Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirant in Ondo State, Wale Akinterinwa, has said he will honour the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Akinterinwa, who contested with 15 others for the party\u2019s governorship ticket last Saturday, was invited by the anti-graft agency over financial misappropriation.<\/p>\n

Reports earlier indicated that the EFCC was investigating Akinterinwa for allegedly mismanaging billions of Naira while serving as the Commissioner for Finance during late Rotimi Akeredolu\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

The report alleged that he was invited some weeks ago by EFCC to interact on some allegations but was \u201ctoo busy\u201d to honour the invitation.<\/p>\n

However, in a post on his verified X handle on Thursday, he said, \u201cToday, I will be honouring the invitation from the EFCC to shed more light on some issues that the commission wants clarification on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have confidence in the anti-graft agency to conduct a thorough investigation and ensure that justice is done\u201d.<\/p>\n
