He said he would not be surprised if he was invited again by the commission over alleged financial misappropriation.
Saraki was on Monday and Tuesday grilled by the EFCC over the N17billion bond obtained by his administration in 2010.
Speaking with newsmen in Ilorin on Thursday, Saraki explained that he had given sufficient information to EFCC investigators on all issues raised pertaining to the bond.
The former Governor and current Senator representing Kwara Central in the National Assembly, also addressed PDP youths in the state who thronged his campaign office to pledge their loyalty and support to him.
He  lauded the EFCC investigators for being “professional”, explaining that the N17bn loan was utilized on projects including Aviation College, irrigation project, Ilorin water reticulation, township stadium, rural electrification, KWASU, loan refunding and Kwara mall.
Saraki said, “Yes I was with EFCC on Monday and Tuesday to answer queries on the bond issue. I made it clear that bond is not money available to any government just like that; that to access it you must go through a rigorous process; that we had to submit ourselves to international evaluation before we could be given.
“I gave them details of how we spent the bond because if any government wants to be reckless it won’t be with a bond that has stringent conditions before you can access it. I listed the projects we used the money for and they are all verifiable.
