Stop acting like jesters, Fayose tells Ekiti APC lawmakers

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has advised members of the All Progressives Con­gress (APC) 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 made yes­terday by 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 resurface 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 Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) will respect the rule of law when he assumes office,” the governor said.
