The caucus unequivocally condemned the freezing of the bank accounts belonging to Ekiti state Governor by the EFCC, describing it as absolutely illegal, and an affront to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The release issued on Sunday and signed on behalf of the caucus by the Senate Deputy Minority Whip, Senator Biodun Olujimi reads;
“our attention has been drawn to the freezing of the bank accounts belonging to Ekiti State governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose by the EFCC and we wish to state that the actions violates the constitution of Nigeria, which conferred immunity on the governor and the EFCC Act, which mandates the Commission to obtain a valid court order before bank accounts of anyone can be frozen”.
“It is trite that the condition precedent to be fulfilled by the EFCC to fully exercise its powers as enshrined in section 34(1) of the EFCC Act, with effect to the freezing order on banks and other financial Institutions was not met. Ditto for the fact that for the court to make such an order, there must be papers (Court Process) filed in court and signed by a Judge.
"By the provision of section 308(1) (a) of the 1999 constitution (as amended), no suit can be instituted against any sitting Governor in any court in Nigeria. Therefore, no process of the court can be issued, signed or served against Mr. Ayodele Fayose, being a sitting Governor. Knowing fully well that the import of section 308 of the 1999 constitution (as amended), is principally to avert unnecessary distraction of any sitting governor and other beneficiaries of that section.
"As much as we are not against the anti – corruption crusade of the government or the investigation of corruption persons by the EFCC, we urge the anti-corruption agency to carry out its functions without political interference from any quarters, while the Federal government on its part, must eschew all actions capable of destabilizing the peace of any state, or threaten our nascent democracy."

When I was a freshman at the University of Ife in the early 1970s I used to be impressed by the door stickers from the alumni of certain secondary schools. I still remember the one that became my personal philosophy: ONLY THE BEST IS GOOF ENOUGH. I have a feeling this came from Christ's School Ado Ekiti. That I would still recall the name of that school after 40 years shows the high regard I had for the school. I actually did take a trip to Ado Ekiti just to know the school. They used to have an association of ex-students called Ekiti Parapo that lent the word PARAPO to Unife campus slangs. It was common belief that apart from high yield of Yam from their land, Ekiti produced the highest number of academics in Nigeria. That was when knowledge was power. I come from Akwa Ibom and I just can't believe that Rkiti State from which came the motto ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH can produce a governor in the mould of Ayo Fayose. He is someone who's genius borders on selfishness, narcissism, kleptomania and mental eccentricity. It is very embarrassing to think that the Best Is Not Always Good Enough, perhaps it's Nigeria's national dilemma. I stand ashamed as a Nigerian.

Drop wetin no belong to you na new name for "intimidation" and "witch hunting" for Naija.
Armed robbers too dey put category for dem work, call one of dem "One Chancing".
Executives dey hide dem own under category of "witch hunting" or "intimidation".
Shame on ekiti caucus of the national assembly for supporting corruption. If boko haram killed your relatives you won't talk like that. Money meant for buying amunitions ended up in the pockets of fayose and his gang. And here you are arguing blindly. F**ls

He can't be intimidated..he is azuanuka
Shame on Buhari, his cup go soon full. Anuofia.
Let me say here that the Yoruba people are the worst losers in this Buhari's sectional/northern Appointments. The voted him, but common single appointment he does not give them. Fayose is the only bold and gallant Yoruba Man I know.
Ok,seen
Lib addict#just passing#
Fuck Apc!!! Fuck the president!!! I used to like him!! I even voted for the fool! But since he is using EFCC to go after PDP members alone!!! I have lost respect for him!! The Buhari I think I knew would go after everyone!!! The major criminals are within is circle!!!
These Ekiti national assembly caucus or whatever they call thesemselves are idiots. Are they not also part of federal government? You steal and hide under the cover of immunity and democracy. This can only happen in Nigeria. I weep for my country!
Thank you my brother. Me too i am ashamed to be called a Nigerian because of our useless leaders. How can they be protecting a known looter and thief? Then they are hiding under the cover of immunity and democracy without addressing the main issue of stealing? Nigeria has a long way to go. Tufiakwa!
Federal government should start taxing bloggers. They are making too much money from politics
The guilty are always afraid
Hopeless Ekiti state house members. ..you are so stupid because you want to share in the loot or stay loyal to the idiot...on the expense of your families, the poor people of the state....may the Lord almighty visit you all with his anger....
Anonymous, It's people like u dt mke dis country wayward. Even if he is looting does dt gve d efcc d right to break d law? Due process must b followed nd d law must always b adhered to. Efcc did nt follow due process, bcos if dey did no judge wud have giving dem d court order to freeze a sitting govs acct. Wtever happens we must follow our constitution.

Bunch of fools.
Lol
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Evil reps, so to steal state fund and be questioned is harassment? Nawah ooh
All of them that steel our money in this nation will never have peace with their children and friends that encourage them God will judge them all.Whichever political parties they belong.The blood of the innocent killed in this nation will not allow them,their children and friends to have peace.
Fools will always say d president is only after PDP. How do u expect him to go after looters in both pdp n apc at d same time when he knows they will gang up and impeach him. PDP must suffer it now followed by apc in his second term. Only a foolish president will intimidate his party members in his first term in office, cos if he does, where and who then will stand by him? Let d man be pls. Fayose has no respect and he is a thief that's all.
On point. Well said
When I read comments and opinions on ds blog especially from one that calls himself freeborn and his cohorts. I'm more persuaded that there is educational bankruptcy. Intellectual hollowness. There arguments have been full of sentiments, tribal inclination and of no common sense. I doubt if they are indeed educated. What a shame. Linda I salute ur courage and patience in coping with bundle of illiterates and charlatans
Shameless either caucus of the national assembly issuing shameful statement. You're as evil as your fayose. You won no election and are in the national assembly by fayoses benevolence , so you must spew rubbish. If zenith bank funded his election , he has just succeeded in tightning the rope on his own neck-electoral offences ! Thanks for the big reveal. This is the basis supreme court will throw out your election. Meanwhile act rmn frozen. Who's the fool here?
