The governor said that its his desire to submit the letter to the commission was hinged on several and serial actions of the commission.
“…. for some time now, including but not limited to freezing of my accounts and attempts to secure temporary forfeiture of my properties.”
He said these were “indicative of the commission’s desire to have me clarify some issues or answer some questions but for the immunity I enjoy under Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution as the sitting governor of Ekiti State.”
