President Bola Tinubu called Governor Ademola Adeleke on phone to assure him that he has mandated the anti-graft agency, EFCC, to take steps to vacate a court order freezing an Osun government account.
The phone call was announced publicly by presidential
spokesman Bayo Onanuga in a post on X.
“President Tinubu in a phone conversation with Governor
Ademola Adeleke on Thursday informed him about his directive to the EFCC to
lift the court order on the Osun State Government account,” Mr Onanuga wrote.
The announcement of the phone conversation came minutes
after the presidency announced the directive on the court order.
The EFCC confirmed on Wednesday
that it ordered a freeze of an Osun government account over suspicion the
account was to be used for illegal activities. That action of the EFCC has been
condemned by many Nigerians who see it as federal interference in the Osun
governorship election coming up on 15 August.
Mr Adeleke’s main challenger is the candidate of Mr Tinubu’s
party (APC), Bola Oyebamiji.
