Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele
Fayose, on Saturday said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission had again
frozen his personal accounts with Zenith Bank again. This development was
coming in the hills of the aftermath refusal of federal high court sitting in
ekiti to grant economic and financial commission an order it brought before it
to freeze the governor’s account with-which was turned down
The governor said the bank refused
to honour his cheque based on a directive from the EFCC when he went there on
Friday.
This indeed came three days after a
Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti, dismissed a motion for stay of execution of the
judgment unfreezing the accounts for lacking in merit.
Justice Taiwo Taiwo while ruling on
the motion filed by the EFCC against his judgment unfreezing the accounts and
delivered on December 13 said that “once a judgment is being executed, you cannot
stay the execution again.”
Fayose 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; acts of
impunity such as this cannot continue. We will challenge them.”
He added that he had received
revelations that he would be “number one” in the country.
“Have you noticed that every
attempt to impeach me has failed? How I will get there don’t ask me.”
On his recent election as the
chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s Governors’ Forum, Fayose said, “ By
the grace of God, we are going to reposition our party. The PDP 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.”
