Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke alleges that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) plans to freeze state government bank accounts ahead of the August 15 governorship election. The claim is contained in a statement issued in Osogbo on Tuesday by Kolapo Alimi, the state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, acting on behalf of the governor. Adeleke says the alleged move is aimed at destabilizing Osun’s finances and disrupting government operations during the election period. He warns that freezing the accounts could affect the state government’s ability to function smoothly at a time when governance and public services are expected to continue without interruption. The statement urges residents to remain calm and vigilant. It also says the state government will resist any action intended to restrict its financial activities before the polls. Both outlets report the allegation without providing additional confirmation or details from EFCC, and the matter is presented as a claim by the governor’s administration rather than a decision by the commission.
