Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi raises concerns about the reported freezing of Osun State Government bank accounts by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). In posts on his X account, Obi says he is worried about what the freeze means for the governorship election process and warns against political intimidation or the use of state institutions to influence electoral outcomes. Multiple outlets report that Obi questions the timing of the EFCC action, given that it occurs shortly before the governorship election in Osun State. He argues that actions perceived as targeting the state or affecting its ability to operate could undermine confidence in the election. The reports describe Obi as calling for the situation to be handled in a way that preserves electoral credibility. None of the summaries provided include a direct response from EFCC or Osun State authorities, but they consistently attribute the concerns to Obi and frame them around both the account-freeze claim and its proximity to the upcoming vote.
