So lucrative is public office here that even in a backwater like Ekiti, a state of only 2 million people in a nation of 130 million, the statehouse and the spoils that come with it are apparently worth killing for. Of Nigeria's 36 governors, 31 are under federal investigation, mostly on suspicion of corruption, and already 5 have been impeached, including Fayose in October. He is now in hiding.
