It is illegal for the EFCC to block the accounts of a state. The EFCC act does not give them that power. The state governments affected should approach a competent court of law to stop this aberration and illegality.

I hope it's not Saraki that has planned this one with EFCC. This is a very good government indeed where open impunity and brazen lawlessness is the order of the day. Even governor's immunity have been indirectly removed by this govt especially if a governor is not of APC.
They want Nigeria to be 1party and 1 religion nation. I hope Bulgari will willingly hand over power even after 8 years. I doubt it based on the way things are going.

So is this the new order of the day? Any state not in the good books of the FG would have its account frozen? Benue, Akwa Ibom, who's next? Wonderment!

Sokoto.

Nigeria is heading for a melt down

I don't understand the type of democracy we're practicing in this country what's the business of efcc with the state government account?

what for

Lol. This is not politics anymore. If the military steps in even the international community will not blame them due to all these stupid impunities.

welcome to Nigeria... hehehehehehe sai Barbar vendetta master

Let me take my sit with a bucket of popcorn.......... Another movie has started

This is cheap black mail....Governor Udom should challenge that...

all this freeze of State government account the presidency will not issue a statement acknowledging that they are aware of the development but when it becomes National issues the presidency will dissociates itself from the matter and claims that they did not clear the EFCC to freeze the affected state public funds

Desperate government...... N yet some people are still calling buhari a saint. 2019 will be worse if Nigerians vote APC into power again

obibolamusa:
Can the state function without the accounts?

Am yet to understand when states started committing crimes.

Are the froozen Accounts only for security votes or the State's operational account?

APC and PDP should not bring this their dirty politics close to the masses ooo

This action wont affect the politicians only the poor masses.

Now is the time to know if Osibanjo is really in charge or if Magu is working for Saraki.

Bro, it's a game plan by the executive and APC. Use EFCC to freeze the account of the state so the state governor can't afford to pay salaries and do projects until next election. Then bring in a candidate that will promise to pay salaries and do projects. Our leaders are killers

EFCC is trying to use this freezing of accounts to determine outcome of election in opposition party states

This nonsense has got to stop

The court in Ekiti vs EFCC already ruled on this matter

Juliusmalema:
This is cheap black mail....Governor Udom should challenge that...

The aim is to make him unable to pay salaries and do projects

Never understand why this country is full of mess, we don't have bad leaders but bad citizens, yet we are calling for the head of our leaders, its because we can't think with our brains,tribalism, individual corruption is make the country to go backwards. people love to celebrate mediocrity, the last time gej wrote something on his Facebook last 3 days, people are crying, clamouring for him to come back, wat gej did for Nigeria to Make him a hero?,if not because of tribalism, every project they executes isn't from their personal pocket money but its what they must do. Nigeria is no where a standard of egypt not to talk of South Africa, all Nigeria leaders are corrupt for goodness sake,IBB is the architect of downfalls of Nigeria, but if any government try to persecute him,his people will rise and fight for him, even the one that hardly eat 3 square meal will protest and defend him,this people are living large and taken every individual citizen for granted secretly, people will even come online to defend them as well,some of their family will never defend their parent, because they are satisfied with their life's and they are living on every citizen entitlement. your family are living in abject poverty while you are fighting for them eithouf getting kobo even the person doesn't know you or any of your family , APC are bad but the most corrupted one (PDP) Are using every tactics to come back to power and destroy it more.

Some of their allies will come online to say something good about their parties, but the myopic ones will keep liking their posts and started fighting. Even Gej or Buhari will never send their kids to best university in Nigeria here while you that are fighting for them find it difficult to gain admission into polytechnic, even if you got admission, you may end up in dropping out, while you as a graduate haven't got the job of your dream, but yet you are fond of defending this crooks and you want to move forward as a person?.. The best solution for Nigeria is for every tribes to go their way or restructuring(if its gonna work)..

why didn't u mention Saint Buhari the head of corruption in Nigeria since his PTF days You no get sense at all [img]https://media1./images/e82c2cd09db0bf410917cda2ef22ffd4/tenor.gif?itemid=4986298[/img]

ELECTIONERY TIMES, FILLED WITH LOTS OF CORRUPT PRACTICES. GOD HELP US.

These are the excesses of power that a truly federal state will avoid.. On what grounds does EFCC have the power to close down accounts of a state? No court orders just unilaterally. When we are all aware that the EFCC remains a branch of the executive due to its lack of independence. The states must be equal partners in the nation every state is sovereign in their own right! Nigeria is just a confused mess.

peacengine:

He should fight back........Thats y I love wike.

Always on revenge mission to intimidate their perceive opponent . we re not surprise we saw this coming since the state governor has sacked akpabio's brother and also refuses to decamp to APC . This shit of their must not be tolerate in Delta state

mayorkyzo:
This is completely insane.. 1st benue, now akwa ibom.
This government is taking tyranny to new levels..

Buhari/APC, anti-people movement.

You can Google what happened when his wife visited the daughter at the university and law school.

You will see them fighting everyday, know that they are not fighting for u or for the country, but they are fighting for their families and their family future.

so it is Efcc that they are using to threaten the pdp state governors under tyranny buhari government. it will never work for them. it will never freeze here. magu should be fired.

My people, no need to postpone the evil day. Day Zero is here. The time to act is now.

There would be no election in the real sense of it in 2019. The plan is already in motion to muscle their way through everything and return the APC to absolute power by hook or crook.

The only reason why Daura was sacked yesterday was because it is widely believed in the corridors of power that he has a soft spot for Saraki and informs him of plots against him beforehand, which allows Saraki to prepare himself and leak the plans to the press. Otherwise, Daura would still be there, even if Osibanjo chooses to resign.

The EFCC's Magu, the police IGP Idris, the INEC puppet Chairman and ALL his commissioners, and the entire apparatus of government (including the NBC, to crackdown on the media) is in high gear. It is a total all out bloodletting and carnage to make Nigeria a One Party State.

The worst part of it is that it is not about Buhari per se. He is merely a figurehead. Even if he dies now nothing would change. Osibanjo would simply be tossed out and the Cabal who have climbed on Buhari's head to power would perpetuate themselves in power with brute force.

Now listen. You think the desperation to take over the National Assembly is for nothing? The grand plan is to have absolute control of the National Assembly and more than two-thirds of the state assemblies. Then, like a dream, the next thing would be to arrange a so-called Constitution amendment in which presidential term limits will be expunged, along with other amendments to consolidate power. This will be executed with far more ruthlessness than Obasanjo could muster for his failed constitutional amendment for his Third Term agenda.

What we're facing now is more vicious than Abacha and the worst military regimes we've had., believe it or not. It is shaping up to be like Teodoro Obiang's Equatorial Guinea, albeit with a loose cabal of all-powerful 'deities' rather than a single Obiang.

Nigerians must rise now. Politicians in the opposition along with other conscientious activists must rise now. If they wait for the elections then it will be too late. It is a battle of survival. A matter of life and death.

It is imperative to rise now and face this threat head on. Even if it means shutting down the country and sacrificing lives. It has to be done now not later, otherwise we will be in a deep mess that would take the country generations to recover from.

Can't believe Buhari can go all this length? So for sacking Akpabio's brother, Akwa Ibom State government has committed crime that would warrant muzzling over 3million people for the sake of a few?

I know for sure that nothing lasts forever.

Mr VP, pls take dauras kind of action on magu. He needs to be called to order as well.
