To those who do not know what is going on, the Supreme Court will affirm the suit seeking to deregister ADC, ACcord,NDC and other parties, pushing Adeleke out of osun is a precursor to the game plan. Tinubu is running unopposed in January ![]() Dont hate the player, hate the game. Some of you breathing fire and brimstone here and insulting people if you were in his position ![]() |

All this impunity will be revisited and those involved punished |

Burob:What is this one even saying? This was the same OBJ did(freezing Lagos statutory account) and Tinubu wanted to pull down heaven which he accused OBJ of being a tyrant. Now he's doing the same thing to Osun State. The same thing that made him call then president a tyrant, he's doing it now to others. Nobody is afraid of your cocaine-sniffing president, rather it's the opposite. He's afraid of opposition parties and the masses. So, stop talking nonsense |

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should be dissolved. The laws enabling EFCC should be repealed. EFCC is a harassment tool, and is of no benefit to the general Nigerian population. |

Qadaffi2idiamin:Did they freeze entire accounts? No. Just one account. Did they have power to freeze account? Yes. They have power to frozen any account, temporarily for 72hrs, before they get court papers, if it's necessary to continue frozen. Did timing of freezing good? No. They are doing it indirectly to render Adeleke powerless and to support opposition party in the state. |

Josywhyte:OBJ didn’t freeze Lagos State Statutory Acct. OBJ withheld the state fed allocation for about 3yrs. It was Yaradua that finally released the money |

Qadaffi2idiamin:Where was EFCC when PDP president Obasanjo refused to allocate funds to Lagos. Where was EFCC when Emefiele was endangering Nigerians with compulsory use of digital app to make transactions Abeg |

EFCC can freeze a state account but cannot invite ex NNPC GMD for questioning over alleged missing 210T naira. What a country!!! |

Section 7(6) of the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 empowers the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), or an authorized officer, to issue a stop order or place a temporary freeze on a bank account for up to 72 hours without a court order if the account is suspected of involvement in a crime |

Lekby25:Oh, so you know this and you're supporting the same thing he's doing to Osun State? And all you could say "people are afraid of him". Why will he freeze the account? On what grounds? Answer me please |

The EFCC is acting beyond its powers |

AMINDA:I'm a fully Batified APC member but I consider this action of Tinubu EFCC to be very wrong. |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Tareq1105: 11:23am On Aug 06 |
Josywhyte:Tinubu EFCC got it wrong on this. How does he want the state to function? |

Ofunaofu:No worry. After the coronation in 2027, Nigeria will then miss Abacha. No worry! Everybody go feel am. |

Macphenson:He is not EFCC. The governors are always accountable if they infringe on the law. But he cannot hold them accountable if they build bridges instead of investing in agriculture. Because they have not stolen money in that. |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Eriokanmi: 11:27am On Aug 06 |
AMINDA:You're so right. Like I said earlier today, those he's banking on will disappoint him at the 11th hour |

Fear everywhere. An AG issuing statement like a cheerleader. So what if the statement is meant as an attack? If you believe the actions taken are unconstitutional, you owe no one an apology. Unconstitutional actions are meant to be attacked. This Tinubu adminstration stinks of corruption and hypocrisy. People like Gbajabiamila should already be on trial. Nonsense. |

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” — Proverbs 29:2 (KJV). It’s up to Nigeria to decide their future (leader). They can as well vote for Rice and #5000. |

vanitybutiwanti:But the appeal court is right na. The suit is incompetent, those parties have fulfilled all electoral requirements and justice Lifu should never have entertained the suit |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Akpakomiza2: 12:21pm On Aug 06 |
Eriokanmi:And appoint who |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Josywhyte: 12:21pm On Aug 06 |
Tareq1105:That's where tyranny comes into play. It is very unconstitutional to freeze a state account. Very, very. But, since we live in a lawless country everything goes. |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Akpakomiza2: 12:22pm On Aug 06 |
AMINDA:No governor is pretending to be with him. Is it your useless Atiku they will support |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Akpakomiza2: 12:22pm On Aug 06 |
Josywhyte:It is actually constitutional for three days |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Josywhyte: 12:24pm On Aug 06 |
Akpakomiza2:Only constitutional if something that threatens the state funds happens. You get my point? |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Akpakomiza2: 12:57pm On Aug 06 |
Josywhyte:It's for three days and affects only one account. The activities of Adeleke moving funds to private accounts is a bigger threat |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by vanitybutiwanti: 1:27pm On Aug 06 |
Akpakomiza2:wait for supreme court judgement |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by xjiggy: 1:33pm On Aug 06 |
All these lawyers always play to the Gallery. EFCC has and will never have the power to freeze any account. That power lies with the courts. As AG, he should be questioning the Judge that granted EFCC plea for a freeze.... |
| Re: EFCC Lacks Power To Freeze Osun Statutory Account — Attorney-general by Uche559(m): 7:30pm On Aug 06 |
N who is d judge that gave EFCC the court order?, doesn't he know d law?, why r these guys embarrassing themselves like dis? |
