APC Has Failed In Plot To Impeach Me -Fayose

Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state and fierce critic of Muhammadu Buhari during the electioneering period, has expressed optimism that the president-elect would obey the rule of law.
Reacting to the impeachment moves against him by lawmakers of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Fayose, who was the first PDP official to congratulate Buhari for his victory, said those lawmakers trying to oust him were only advertising their ignorance and crudity in the market place.
"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."
The assembly had been involved in crisis since October when Ayodele Fayose, the governor, assumed office.
However, the crisis reached its height when PDP members with minority number impeached Omirin as speaker under controversial circumstances.
Their APC colleagues responded by suspending the seven PDP lawmakers and resolved to relocate the sitting of the house to the premises of the Ekiti State University (EKSU), alleging that the assembly complex was no longer safe for legislative activities because it had been taken over by thugs.
But Fayose has acknowledged the action of the PDP lawmakers, and continues to insist that Omirin is no longer speaker.
