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.

I have been saying this since the guy was sworn in that he is likely not to finished his tenure again.Even himself said it yesterday that though I might be impeached but he will make sure a lawmaker die for it.Fayose see ya life?

That man? He is used to being impeached.

Somebody is about to set a new record..... Fingers crossed.

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.

If this is true, then this is just the beginning

bro did u really writedis wearing your thinking cap? Like seriouslyy? So d APC lawmakers should avoid making the community as normal as it should be? In which sane clime will someone like Obanikoro be appointed as a minister(despite charges against him) and fayoshe be allowed to thrive without proper investigation and equitable sanctionss appropriated to him. Please we all want a better nation where people will be held accountable for their actions(reasons why most of us voted out the clueless otuoke man) . We should be seen supporting the trajector Nigeria is pacing; not allowing statusquo; for the fear of what people will say or think.

Nonsense, are they not the same lawmakers who are leaving office in May 2015?
Fruitless effort

They should learn what happened in Rivers when lawmakers tried to impeach Amaechi.
He went into the assembly complex and knacked them Akpako.
They can only try but will definitely meet the same fate.
Fayose is going no where.
His Ekiti State Governor till 2018 so deal with that.

The thing tire me oo. The thug shouldn't even be allowed to sign a single contract document in that state anymore. He stole the mandate and worst still ran his office like a mad man would.

The earlier they evict him and have him face charges, the better for the people of Ekiti.

Fayose will just be hopeful that the PDP wins the majority of the House of Assembly seats come Saturday the 11th. But if event unfolds the other way round, then his case na OYO o...

Make them free the guy na

pdp is no longer in power to intimidate the opposition. The problem with Rivers and Akwa Ibom is that the federal government used the police to intimade the state legislators. If Fayose is guilty he will be impeached and there is nothing he can do about it but go to court

If he is a PDP governor, dont this state law makers has any meaningful things to contribute to develop the state. I tired for this children called APC.

The spelling of ''allegation'' leaves so much to be desired .
