Toyin Saraki, the wife of Nigeria’s senate president, Bukola Saraki has reacted to the invitation for questioning sent to her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In a statement issued on Wednesday evening by Akeem Olagoke, her private secretary, the former first lady of Kwara state acknowledged an invitation from the EFCC but said no reason was stated in the letter.
Olagoke wrote: ”Her Excellency, Mrs Toyin Saraki, Founder of Wellbeing Foundation Africa and wife of the Senate President has been informed by her office that a letter of invitation was delivered to her office, by and from the EFCC. As Mrs Saraki has no idea what this invitation could pertain to, she has directed an immediate and formal response, to the EFCC, that she will be delighted to assist them with any lawful enquiries they may have, as a law abiding, transparent and accountable private citizen.
”Mrs Saraki has thus confirmed an appointment date to honour this invitation, at the earliest mutually agreed convenience”.
