EFCC has frozen my account – Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti State, has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of freezing his personal account.

Fayose had earlier raised an alarm that the Federal Government had concluded the alleged plans to use the anti-graft agency to destabilise Ekiti with the aim of impeaching him, the Cable News reports.

In a message on his Twitter handle, the governor blamed President Muhammadu Buhari for the restriction on his account.

Efforts to confirm the claim from Wilson Uwujaren, spokesman of the EFCC, did not yield any result, as his phone rang and has not replied the text message sent.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Sunday, Fayose described the current administration’s fight against corruption as “muzzling of the opposition.”

He said some members of his cabinet and prominent chieftains of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti had been “pencilled down for arrest.”
