Ekiti State Assembly Commences Plot To Impeach Governor Fayose by ammanison(m): 3:48am On Apr 04, 2015 |
SaharaReporters has learned that at least 18 members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have agreed to commence investigations into allegations of grave misconduct against Governor Ayodele Fayose. SaharaReporters has obtained documents accusing Mr. Fayose of various acts of gross misconduct, a first step to his possible impeachment by the lawmakers. In June 2014, Mr. Fayose, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), decisively won the governorship of Ekiti State after defeating then incumbent Governor Kayode Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) throughout the state. However, a major shadow was cast over the PDP candidate’s victory when SaharaReporters uncovered an audiotape in which several PDP politicians, including then Minister of State for Defense, Musiliu Obanikoro, Minister for Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, former Senator Iyiola Omisore, and Mr. Fayose ordered Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh to use soldiers to intimidate and arrest APC members in a scheme to guarantee victory for the PDP governorship candidate. One of the legislators in Ekiti State told our correspondent, “We are going to look at the allegations against Governor Ayodele Fayose in a responsible manner and make our decision in line with the rule of law and the overall interest of the people of the state.” Asked to comment on the timing of the impeachment plot, a week after the APC’s presidential candidate won last weekend’s presidential election, the legislator said the assembly was already working on the issue before the elections of March 28. “I can assure you that this is not a case of partisan witch-hunt,” the lawmaker said. He added, “We are approaching the investigation with an open mind. No conclusions can be reached without a thorough investigation.” If the case ends up in Mr. Fayose’s impeachment, he would become the first Nigerian governor to be impeached twice. He was impeached in October 2006 during his first run as governor of the state. http://saharareporters.com/2015/04/03/ekiti-state-assembly-commences-plot-impeach-governor-fayose 15 Likes

Honestly,if Fayose could be impeached by the lawmakers based on the alleged gross misconduct,after thorough investigation is made,it will be better for this nation.He is a disgrace to Nigeria,as a governor. 207 Likes 7 Shares |

Rather than concentrate on their re-election bid, they are busy chasing shadow. This current house of Assembly in Ekiti cannot impeach Fayose and from the look of things, I doubt if APC will have the majority in the next house. 25 Likes 3 Shares |

And where are the apologists who said SR reports only news that suits APC? I sure won't like it if Fayose gets impeached(I still like him despite the childish displays he put up against GMB), but yet, let no one stand in between him and his glory; he'll be the first Nigerian governor to be impeached twice, quite enviable! 64 Likes 5 Shares |

no time, he should have kept quiet earlier, now i believe the popular saying of "first to do no dey pain na last to do dey pain pass" when fayose said he doesnt care that to him 7 is more than 12 or so, now its payback time... chaii cant wait to see being disgraced out of office When APC was campaigning, PDP was preoccupied looking & searching for Buhari's WAEC result. Now that d result is out, i think they can now see dat he passed at distinction level in all d subjects. Dis is a lesson. D bible says, when Leah was mocked & hated, God remembered her & opened her womb(Gen29:31). Just b focused because those that are looking & searching for ur downfall because of hatred will soon see d miraculous evidence of God's miracle in ur live & just like Jonathan & Fayose are now struggling to b d first to congratulate Buhari, their sworn enemy, ur enemies shall queue to congratulate u b4 d end of this year in Mighty name of God 14 Likes 1 Share |

The 19 members of the ekiti state HOA are still under suspension until the courts rule otherwise. There are just wasting their time. Buhari might have won but he is not yet President. As long as PDP remains in power, Fayose cannot be impeached. Unfortunately for them, They will all be kicked out next week so that when Buhari resumes by May 29 ,Fayose would be safe from impeachment. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

My good Ekiti people, I pity you honestly! You deserve someone better than this man! But you can rejoice now because very soon - hopefully, he'll be sent packing and become the first governor in Nigeria to be impeached twice! Fayose is a goner already! Knw ds the day GMB was declared winner! He was rigged in, and gt nothing good to offer the people of Ekiti state! He's a thief and a tout. It'll be the best thing that'll happen to Ekiti people if he's impeached. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

I see no reason as to getting gov. Fayose impeached. We all know from time indefinite that the election that brought him to the office of the Ekiti State Governor has been found to be an open fraudulent in relation to the Ekiti Gate disclosure. What next is to investigate the white cloud surrounding the black smoke of the Ekiti Gate and get it referred to the court of law to decide between Fayose and the APC candidate Fayemi whose party scored the higher votes next to Fayose's PDP fraudulently accomplished mandate. If found guilty with the crystal clear tape as the most convincing evidence, the APC takes the pedestal of the governorship of Ekiti while all his cohorts involved in the scenario gets their court judgement. If the Judiciary would prove to the Nigerians that the institution has started to be an entity the average Nigeria can depend upon for justice, Kayode Fayemi will be returned into the governor's office to complete his second tenure as Ekiti State Governor. With general. Buhari in charge from May 2015 the Nigeria Judiciary will start to find it difficult to continue compromising its inherited standardized tradition of handling down justice except we still have any of the judges that have decided to look for another job outside the judiciary where he can continue to manipulate the truth. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Ymodulus:Fayose's elections can no longer be annulled,the ekiti elections petition tribunal has finished sitting and closed.The last court for the Governorship elections tribunal, the appeal court has upheld his elections. A normal court cannot adjudicate on this matter besides the law stipulates all elections matters must be concluded within180 days after the elections 6 Likes 1 Share |

Ymodulus:He can only be impeached if the APC get the required2/3 in the next HOA.From the look of things going by the results of the presidential and state HOA elections, PDP will win all the seats in the next ekiti state HOA. As long as GEJ remains in power Fayose would never be impeached. These lawmakers sealed their fate by taking their purported suspension to court. The way it isby the law, there are still under suspension, the ekiti chief judge would not even bother responding to them, if they ask him to set up a panel 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Let them allow peace to reign. At least for now. APC should please avoid anything that would make it look like the twin brother of the PDP. Even if people perceive APC as a party peopled with aggrieved individuals out to settle scores, the party can dispel the notion and not lend credence to it by letting sleeping dogs lie. At least for now. 2 Likes |
