“continued harassment” by the security agencies and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

“So, my hands are clean. But if the EFCC wants me to come and answer, I am prepared to answer any call from anybody as a responsible citizen.

“Even at that, I will continue to advocate justice, rule of law, and equity,” he said.

According to Punch, Ekweremadu spoke when the Archbishop of Enugu Province, Anglican Communion, Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, led a delegation of clergies of Enugu Diocese of the Church on a solidarity visit to his Enugu residence on Sunday evening.

Ekweremadu pointed out that he had never been in a position to manage public finances or award contracts all through his political career.
