Governor Fayose of Ekiti state has resisted the steps taken by the Muhammadu Buhari APC government who has been using the EFCC to witch-hunt members of other political parties.
The Federal High Court, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State has ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC lacked power to investigate finances of the Ekiti State.
According to the court, “in federalism, the Federal Government is not an overseer or supervisor regarding finances of a State.”
The court informed that only the State House of Assembly can investigate finances of a State.
The court restrained the anti-graft agency from interfering in the running of Ekiti State by either investigating or arresting any official of the State
