2bn arms deal fayose used fund to prosecute governorship ambition apc

It appears you're referring to a controversy surrounding the 2 billion naira arms deal in Nigeria, specifically involving former Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

To provide some context, in 2014, the Nigerian government signed a 2 billion naira arms deal with a private company, Omicron Security Innovation, to supply arms and ammunition to the military. However, the deal was widely criticized due to allegations of corruption and mismanagement.

Fayose, who was the Governor of Ekiti State at the time, was accused of using part of the funds from the arms deal to finance his 2014 governorship re-election campaign. The APC, which was the opposition party at the time, accused Fayose of diverting the funds meant for the military to finance his political ambition.

In 2016, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) launched an investigation into the arms deal and arrested several individuals, including Fayose's aide, Abiodun Agbele. Fayose himself was also arrested and charged with money laundering and criminal breach of trust.

The trial of Fayose and others accused in the arms deal has been ongoing, with the EFCC presenting evidence of alleged misappropriation of funds. Fayose has denied any wrongdoing, claiming that the allegations against him are politically motivated.

The APC has continued to accuse Fayose of corruption and mismanagement, while Fayose's supporters have accused the APC of using the allegations as a political tool to discredit him.

It's worth noting that the controversy surrounding the arms deal has led to calls for greater transparency and accountability in Nigeria's defense spending, as well as efforts to reform the country's procurement processes to prevent similar scandals in the future.
