Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has claimed that the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has frozen his two accounts
with the Ado-Ekiti branch of Zenith Bank again.
Fayose revealed
this on Saturday in an interview with journalists in Ado-Ekiti.
He said he was not allowed to withdraw on Friday, despite a
court ruling directing the EFCC to unfreeze
his accounts.
The Governor
added that the bank officials said they were acting based on an undated Notice
of Appeal.
He said: “This
is the impunity we are condemning. The bank and the EFCC got all the judgments
of the court, but the agency still harassed the bank to act against the law.
“If I sent
somebody with a cheque, they could give excuse but I was there myself and acts
of impunity such as this cannot continue. We will challenge them,” he said.
Fayose also used
the opportunity to insist that he did not lobby for his position as the
Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum.
“My colleagues,
in their wisdom, unanimously elected me the chairman of the forum. By the grace
of God, we are going to reposition our party.
“The Peoples
Democratic Party is only a sleeping giant and when it wakes up, those mocking
us now will quake.
“Charlatans who
are one leg in one leg out and causing confusion in the party would have to
decide where to belong,” he added.
