President Bola Tinubu has directed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately take steps to vacate the court order freezing the bank accounts of the Osun State Government, citing the proximity of the state’s governorship election. “It has come to my notice that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) obtained a court order on August 5, 2026, freezing the accounts of the Osun State Government. However, he noted that while he was yet to receive full details of the circumstances that informed the EFCC’s decision to seek the court order, the timing of the action required intervention. “Osun State is only a few days away from its gubernatorial election. “Accordingly, I have directed the EFCC to immediately proceed to the court to vacate the order and discontinue whatever action it has instituted against the Osun State Government in this regard,” the President said.
