Honouring the invitation of the anti graft agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Chief Femi Fani Kayode and his lawyer are now at the Commission's office to answer their summon. 

The commission laid siege to his house during the weekend after he received their invitation letter which invited him to their office on Monday (today). Fani Kayode, an ardent critic of President Buhari and APC raise the alarm on the social media and the agency hurriedly withdrew their battle ready agents from the area when the media swooped on them

Before his departure for the EFCC's office today, Fani Kayode, the former director of media 'Jonathan Campaign Organization' shared this post on his Facebook wall. 

"In view of recent events permit me to begin this weeks column with an aside and say a few things about my present predicament. 

I shall leave my home and go to the EFCC on the morning of 9th May for questioning about the presidential campaign funds.

I have no fear of this and I look forward to the opportunity of helping the Commission to clarify all the issues that they may wish to raise. 

No matter the outcome and no matter what they choose to say or do to me, I count it all as joy. 

I believe that it is only the path of the simple and mediocre that is smooth. The path of the great is filled with challenges and difficulty. 

I am therefore not moved or perturbed by what is going on around me or the sheer wickedness and injustice that I am being subjected to. 

This is more so because I am a believer in the awesome power of the Living God. 

I know that no matter how bad things may appear He never forsakes His own. This is especially so when they have done no wrong. 

His word says "despite the darkness of the night, joy comes in the morning". No matter how long it takes that joy will certainly come. 

Secondly I am not a thief. I served in the Jonathan Presidential Campaign Organisation out of loyalty and not for profit. 

I worked hard and risked all during that assignment and I believe that we did an effective job. 

I have no apology for that and the fact that we lost an election does not mean that we should be dehumanised, humiliated, subjected to the most beastly lies or destroyed.

I stand on the word of God who will eventually vindicate me and I have no fear of the evil that my enemies wish to subject me to. 

The truth is that I am not in their hands or their power but in the hands and power of the Living God. 

I shall walk the path that He has chosen for me with my head held up high and with faith, strength, honor and dignity knowing that the God that I serve is mighty. 

In the end my innocence shall speak for me and I shall come out of the burning furnace finer than purified gold."

EFCC is probing the source of the PDP campaign funds in the last election. Top PDP former government functionaries are currently answering to various corruption charges in court ever since the new government declared a total war on corruption and repatriation of looted funds. The fight opposition members called 'Political Witch-hunting'.

"Who can battle with the Lord? Who can battle with the Lord? Who can battle with the Lord? I say nobody!"
