You are freezing Fayose's account knowing you cannot bring him to court in any way and manner? To what end then? entire Sec 308 of the 1999 Constitution verbatim. The Section provides: (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Constitution, but subject to subsection (2) of this section - (a) No civil or criminal proceedings shall be instituted or continued against a person to whom this section applies during his period of office; (b) A person to whom this section applies shall not be arrested or imprisoned during that period either in pursuance of the process of any court or otherwise; and (c) No process of any court requiring or compelling the appearance of a person to whom this section applies, shall be applied for or issued: Provided that in ascertaining whether any period of limitation has expired for the purposes of any proceedings against a person to whom this section applies, no account shall be taken of his period of office. (2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to civil proceedings against a person to whom this section applies in his official capacity or to civil or criminal proceedings in which such a person is only a nominal party. (3) This section applies to a person holding the office of President or Vice-President, Governor or Deputy Governor; and the reference in this section to "period of office" is a reference to the period during which the person holding such office is required to perform the functions of the office. The most important order Buhari should give now is to military board to release his WAEC result. While we play politics with this, and viewing it on the prism of APC versus PDP, our democracy is gradually sliding into the cesspit of tyranny while we cheer PMB up....tyranny starts gradually. ...it will soon go round...check history, every tyrant gets to a point where they are scared of their own shadows. They begin to suspect close allies and consequently luck them up. APC leaders should stop PMB before its late. This thing will go round. Hope it won't be too late. The constitution is clear on how to handle criminal issues. Gather all admissible evidence, arrest, charge to court, prosecute . Anything outside this process is tyranny. Call me wailer call me zombie. Our democracy is going down and constitution is becoming tatters 12 Likes 1 Share |

karma is dancing kukere on fayose's head. Fayose that is shouting immunity forgot Tinubu was protected and under immunity when he detained and harassed Tinubu for attending a burial ceremony in Ekiti as a Lagos state governor during fayose's first short lived tenure of office. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Is Fayose going to be a governor forever? No. There is nothing in the section of the law quoted which prevents EFCC from freezing a governor's account in the process of an investigation. Once his tenure is over the case against him can proceed and he can be charged to court. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Is fayose the only pdp gov in nigeria? Let him not wail if he has no skeleton in his cupboard. When he went on his disgraceful trip to china with a letter against the president and sovereignty of nigeria he didnt remember the law. By the time they are true with him he will learn how to conduct himself in public space and respect his mother without mention of pampers. Useless gov that is so arrogant and proud. That money u think u have made, that is making u boastful and proud let see how u will spend it. if u dont leave office disgracefully then thank ur star. Fayose was not the only person that collected money from Gej mimiko also collected huge sum from gej but fayose want to show that he has guts against fg. Go ahead and let see who will use the law best to his advantage. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nonsense. The law states that, even with immunity, sitting Presidents, Governors can be investigated, but can't be prosecuted. It's in the same vain that their accounts can be frozen without prosecution. 4 Likes 1 Share |

DaniDani:how many friends has fayose made for himself by negligence to pay workers 6mths salaries and not waiting for what comes from abuja. Rather he has created more enemies for himself. Instead of going to china to import technology to improve agriculture, he went to china to submit a letter against a sovereign nation his country. The exact treatment that he can never tolerate from another person. Only time will tell who has actually created enemy for himself. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Right is right, wrong is wrong. Just as jungle justice against a criminal is wrong, so is 'using any means' to prosecute a sitting governor. Both of them are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW. So people, please- STOP SELLING YOUR BIRTHRIGHT! mikolo80: 2 Likes |

Built2last:OP sorry i dint get you, Do you mean because Fayose is a Governor and cover by immunity they should not freeze his account? Did EFCC arrest him? No and you know why? he is cover by that same immunity and mind you, Immunity does not cover his bank account that rigorous money was trace to immunity only cover the office he occupy. Evidence is against him now and the account will be freeze till he complete his tenure. |

Abeymills:Look at this one ooo, Did the FG withhold Ekiti state allocation? NO. Did GEJ Government trace any fraudulent money to Ameachi personal account? No But mind you they make River state ungovernable for Ameachi hope you remember but same never happen in Ekiti or did FG send any minister to torment Fayose like GEJ/PEJ send Mba, Wike and even mama PEJ to torment Ameachi. 1 Like 1 Share |

Compliant:Thank you mt brother, Mind you he might not even complete his tenure, Remember it was almost the same way and reason eh was impeached the first time? First time he said he use #1billion to build a poultry and OBJ was marveled. Now it's #1.2billion. Mind you so many of Ekiti State House of Assembly Member are guilty and case will be set up against them and they will either run to Fayemi or Tinubu and the only thing that can safe them is to impeach the ponmo Governor. Same happen in 2006.. |
