Ekiti Law Makers Protests Over Governor's Blocked Bank Account.

Members of the Ekiti state House of Assembly
held a protest in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital
today, Wednesday, June 29, 2016, to protest the
blocking of Governor Ayo Fayose’s bank account.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) blocked the Ekiti Governor’s Zenith bank
account on Monday, June 20, 2016.
The anti-graft agency also alleged that Fayose’s
bank account was used to launder funds meant
for the purchase of arms.
The Ekiti lawmakers also condemned the actions
of the EFCC describing it as illegal, adding that
the Federal Government is deliberately looking for
ways to implicate Fayose.
According to the Speaker of the House of
Assembly, Hon. Kola Oluwawole, the protest was
to show that the lawmakers are in support of the
Governor.
Adding that “No amount of intimidation,
harassment, arrest will push us to do any dirty
job. We have had enough of intimidation. They
should leave Governor Fayose alone, he was duly
elected by the people of Ekiti state.
“The frozen of his account without following due
process is a high level of intimidation and we
condemn it.”
The Guardian also reports that the Deputy
Speaker, Segun Adewumi, said “If Fayose built
house anywhere, it is not their business; they
should wait until he finishes his tenure.”
Meanwhile, Governor Ayo Fayose has said that no
one can intimidate him.
