Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose responds to impeachment threat from
APC members in the State House of Assembly. His statement below...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has advised All
Progressives Congress (APC) members in the State House of
Assembly to stop acting like jesters, saying; "The script being
acted by the APC is a failed one because no one, no matter how
highly placed will be allowed to test the will of Ekiti people."
The governor, who described the purported impeachment notice
posted online by the APC lawmakers as "joke of the century"
said; "The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly is Hon
Dele Olugbemi and not Dr Adewale Omirin."
In a statement issued on Saturday by the his Special Assistant on
Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor
Fayose said; "Omirin is already in court, challenging his impeachment
and common sense dictates that when you are challenging an action
already taken in court, you have accepted the consequences of such
action pending the determination of the suit you filed."
He said the APC lawmakers should stop advertising their ignorance
and crudity in the market place by posting impeachment notice online.
"Since last year November, these so-called lawmakers abdicated their
duties and ran to Lagos only for them to resurfaced on Wednesday,
but they hurriedly ran away again.
"Now they are posting notice of impeachment signed on March 9,
2015 and Ekiti people are asking; was the motion for impeachment
moved and adopted in Lagos or Osun State House of Assembly?
"Is impeachment of a governor done along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
inside a moving bus?
"Rather than going about advertising their ignorance and crudity, the
APC lawmakers should wait for the court to adjudicate on the case
they filed because even the President-Elect, Major General
Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) will respect the rule of law when he
assumes office," the governor said.
