The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has blocked the account of
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, operates with Zenith Bank Plc.
The
governor, who spoke to reporters in Ado-Ekiti on Monday at the premises of the
bank, said he had information that the accounts of some of his associates were
also affected.
According
to a press release by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Idowu Adelusi,
the governor accused some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a
prominent lawyer from the state of being the brains behind the action.
While
condemning the action, Mr. Fayose said under the constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria, especially the provisions contained in Section 308, he
enjoyed immunity and wondered why his personal properties should become the
targets of the Federal Government and its agencies under the guise of fighting
corruption.
