Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has lampooned the All Progressives Congress (APC) legislators in the state for attempting to oust him from office, saying that they were only advertising their ignorance and crudity in the market place.
Speaking via a statement issued by his special assistant on public communication and new media. , Lere Olayinka, Governro Fayose said the efforts of the lawmakers were fortuitous and against the rule of law, which he believes will be upheld by the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, who is a member of the APC.
Governor Fayose further chastised the lawmakers for abandoning the state and relocating to Lagos only to show up on Wednesday, April 1, 2015, adding that PDP’s Dele Olugbemi remained the authentic Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly and not Adewale Omirin of the APC, who was ousted in November 2014.
He said: “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,” read a statement issued by Lere Olayinka, Fayose’s special assistant on public communication and new media.
“The speaker of Ekiti house of assembly is Hon Dele Olugbemi and not Dr Adewale Omirin.
“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.”
