The Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has described the freezing of the Osun State Government’s statutory allocation account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as a dangerous assault on democracy. “It is impossible to ignore the implications of freezing a state’s principal operational account on the eve of a governorship election. “The selective and politically convenient deployment of state institutions diminishes public trust and weakens the democratic order. “Freezing the state’s allocation account is not merely an attack on the Osun State government; it is a direct assault on the people of Osun State, whose salaries, essential public services and daily governance stand to suffer.
