Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state has disclosed how much he has in the two accounts frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He boasted that he could not be worn out by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) because he has “God” in his corner.
In a statement released on Sunday, Fayose challenged the agency to publish details of his frozen accounts with Zenith Bank.
“In my two accounts that they have frozen, I have N300 million in the fixed deposit one and N82 million in the other. Both accounts and my properties were duly declared in my Asset Declaration Form. They are treading the same 2006 path and they will fail woefully by the grace of God. What they did in 2006, the Supreme Court declared it illegal and I came back to office exactly eight years after. It means one of us lied and was mischievous.
“We cannot all be in the APC. If we are, then we are no longer practising democracy. There must be opposition and that is to keep those in government on their toes, but if you now make silencing the opposition as your main programme, then you are short-changing the people.
“The people are hungry; they are ravaged by poverty and what you think is the best step to take is to kill the voice of the opposition. If the situation was this bad, the PDP would have been removed from office long time ago.
“After the APC leaders failed to stop my inauguration, get me impeached, they know that they will still lose again in 2018. What they are trying to do is to create a wedge between me and the people of the state who love me.
“As far as I am concerned, their project is dead on arrival. The voice of the people is the voice of God,” he stated.
