Honourable Oladipupo Adebutu, member, House of\u00a0Representatives on Wednesday, described the freezing of the personal account of Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose with Zenith Bank by operatives of the Economic and\u00a0Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as an abridgement of democratic norms, ethos an practice as seen all over the world.<\/p>\n

In a release by Adebutu on Wednesday,\u00a0the member of the House of Representatives, representing the Ikenne\/Sagamu\/Remo North Federal Constituency, said the EFCC by its action is laying a siege to democracy and this is a dangerous attempt to muscle voices of dissent and in essence kill the opposition in our democracy.<\/p>\n

According to him, “The EFFC’s action should be condemned by all lovers of democracy as it portends grave danger to the survival of democratic rule in the country. This is a siege on democracy and ultimately our civil liberties.<\/p>

He further lamented the unfortunate descent into\u00a0which our democratic experience is being plunged under this dispensation. Where for the first time in\u00a0decades Hunger is the norm. This continued\u00a0charade only seeks to distract from the fact that we have all become fifty percent poorer in the last one year.<\/p>\n

His words, “the actions are contrary to the laws of the land and are capable of jeopardizing the\u00a0spirit and tenets of our hard won democracy”\u00a0Honourable Adebutu while assuring Governor\u00a0Fayose of the support of well meaning Nigerians,\u00a0especially members of the Peoples Democratic\u00a0Party in Ogun State in this trying period,\u00a0expressed his strong believe that this injustice\u00a0before the law of the land and God shall not\u00a0stand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
