News broke out yesterday that the former Kwara First Lady had been summoned by the EFCC over issues bothering on financial embezzlement, but she, however, denied knowing the reason for the invitation.
Report had it that the EFCC was moving against Mrs Saraki and Zainabu Yar’adua-Dakingari, the daughter of former president Umaru Yar’Adua, over alleged fraud running into billions of naira.
Meanwhile, Mrs Saraki was also invited to explain the inflow of funds into companies where she has interest, when her husband was the governor of Kwara state.
In a statement issued on July 22, Wednesday, Akeem Olagoke, the private secretary to Mrs Saraki, noted that the Senate president’s wife had no idea of the motive of the invitation but “will be delighted to assist them with any lawful enquiries they may have, as a law abiding, transparent and accountable private citizen”.

“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,” the statement read.
