Allegation
Following petitions from the incoming Fayose state government and the Save Ekiti Coalition, the ICPC in February 2016 began investigating whether the Fayemi administration's ₦25bn capital-market bond was properly spent, focused on contracts including earthworks for a new governor's office (₦383.9m), the governor's office building itself (₦2.03bn), a Civic Centre (₦2.57bn) and road rehabilitation, as well as an alleged fraudulent withdrawal of ₦852.9m in SUBEB counterpart funds eight days before Fayemi's tenure ended. A state Judicial Commission of Inquiry later reported (December 2017) that Fayemi must account for the whereabouts of ₦2.75bn of the bond.
Outcome / Status
No prosecution has resulted as of the most recent reporting found (2023), when Fayemi — by then a federal minister — was again invited and questioned by the EFCC over a related ₦20bn diversion allegation tied to the same tenure; he denied wrongdoing and was released after cooperating.
Administration's response
Fayemi has consistently denied the allegations, framing the petitions as politically motivated; no charges have been filed in the years since the probe opened.
