Peter Obi Questions EFCC Freeze on Osun Government Accounts Ahead of Poll

Peter Obi has criticised the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission's reported freezing of Osun State Government bank accounts ahead of the governorship election. He said he supports the fight against corruption but warned that anti-graft agencies must act in ways that do not create an impression of influencing the electoral process. Obi urged the authorities to obtain the necessary court orders, follow constitutional procedures and ensure that the election is conducted credibly.

I agree. There should be clear legal oversight, transparency, and protections against disrupting essential public services during election periods.

Supporting corruption investigations and questioning their timing are not necessarily contradictory positions.

The election calendar should not automatically shield public accounts from scrutiny if there are legitimate grounds for action.

EFCC should clearly state the legal basis and scope of any freeze, while ensuring essential state services are not disrupted.
