The Accord Party has demanded the resignation of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing the anti-graft agency of partisanship and interference in the build-up to the August 15 guber election in Osun State.
The party said its position followed the EFCC’s decision to freeze an account belonging to the Osun State Government before subsequently reversing the restriction. 
He called on the EFCC chairman to step down, adding that President Bola Tinubu should remove him if he refused to resign.
He accused the commission of exceeding its statutory powers when it restricted the state government’s account on August 5, describing the action as capable of undermining confidence in public institutions.
He further stated, “Accordingly, Accord demands the immediate resignation of the EFCC chairman.
“For embarrassing the President, the party, the government and people of Osun State and fellow citizens, the EFCC chairman should toe the path of honour and tender his resignation.
If he fails to resign, President Tinubu should sack him immediately to restore the integrity of the anti-graft agency.”
The EFCC had maintained that the restriction was connected to an ongoing investigation into alleged financial irregularities and was not politically motivated.
