Fayose also called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the assets of the former President.

The Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose has alleged that former President Olusegun Obasanjo looted funds while he was in government.

According to reports, Fayose also said the former President should be jailed, adding that he is corrupt.

The Governor wondered if all the assets Obasanjo allegedly owns was acquired only with his salary when he was President.

The Governor said “Look at somebody talking about corruption, when Obasanjo just returned from the prison, they should go and bring his picture and his asset, what was his worth when he was in prison and what happened after eight years when he looted the treasury.

“All those assets he now has in Obasanjo library and university and all that, are they products of his salary? So when they talk in this country we want to be able to listen and evaluate what they are talking about.

“Obasanjo should be behind the bars. The money that he used to bribe members of the National Assembly during his botched third term agenda, where did the money come from? Was it from his holier than thou presidency, or what?"
