Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has allegedly frozen the state assembly's bank account.
According to THE NATION,Speaker of the Ekiti state assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin, claims that the governor frooze the assembly's account due to failure of the house to immediately clear three persons who were nominated for position as commissioners.
Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, Omirin said, "The standard practice is to present the list of the nominees to plenary; the nominees will follow with the submission of their credentials. They will be screened before confirmation.
"The governor sent three names on Monday and the list was read that day. Since it was a public document, we read the letter the second day at plenary. Nobody submitted any credential. We don’t know the nominees.
"They have not submitted their credentials for the appropriate committees to screen them. It is surprising that the governor expects the House to confirm the nominees immediately. This is strange in parliamentary conduct.
"One arm of government cannot close down the activities of the other.How can you elevate intimidation and blackmail to an art of governance?. The chief judge was blackmailed that he took a bribe of N20million to stall hearing on the local council development areas case and another alleged N200million to reassign the E-11’s perjury case to Justice Olusegun Ogunyemi to return a guilty verdict on the governor.
"After the judiciary had been blackmailed to submission, it is now the turn of the parliament to be brought to its knees by blackmailing members and freezing the accounts of the House as if the House is a department in the Governor’s Office.
However, Fayose's chief Press Secretary Idowu Adelusi has dismissed the allegation.
