Reacting to the freezing of the account of Ayodele Fayose, his Ekiti counterpart, Iroko as he is popularly called, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call the anti-graft agency to order.
The governor alleged that there is gross abuse of the constitution under Buhari’s watch.
“What has happened is a blatant and violent infraction on the provision of the constitution and our democracy,” he said in a statement.
“It’s an attempt to subvert the constitution and it is fascist. The intention is to achieve a penal sanction without going through the due criminal procedure and criminal proceedings”
Mimiko said the essence of section 308 of the constitution is to save governors in the country from distractions, saying the action of the agency is not good for democracy.
“Immunity is part of the constitution and it must be respected whether anybody likes it or not,” he said.
Detectives have traced about N4.745billion of the diverted $2. 1billion arms cash to a former Minister of State (Defence), Musiliu Obanikoro and Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose. so what do you people want EFCC to do, let go of the investigation because the people involve are untouchable? NAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOga wiring of money through bank account has no immunity. Gone are the days when governors use immunity to loot us dry. Anyway check supreme Court judgement of Gani Fawehimi versus Tinubu, you will see how justice Uwaifo separate investigation from immunity.
