The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in Ekiti State House of Assembly have said there is no going back on the impeachment notice issued against Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The embattled Speaker, Dr Adewale Omirin, said the governor cannot run away from the process because the impeachment notice served on him was a constitutional matter and contained serious issues of the law.

He said instead of staying in hiding to evade justice, it is better to live with the reality that the rule of law has come to stay in the country.

He said this while reacting to media reports credited to the factional Speaker, Dele Olugbemi, and ‎the governor’s media aide, Lere Olayinka, dismissing the impeachment notice as a joke.

Omirin in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, said the move was to rescue democracy‎ from the gridlock of executive lawlessness and impunity into which the state had been driven by the governor.

He said, “It will soon dawn on Fayose and his aides that the matter at hand goes beyond exuberant media skirmishes that are being deployed to rally support for the governor.

“Attention of the world has shifted to Ekiti State following the leaked tape detailing electoral fraud perpetrated to give Fayose victory. After that, several issues in Ekiti State are being questioned on the place of the constitution in nurturing democracy in the country, and as responsible citizens, we must act right to make democracy work.”

Omirin said all allegations raised in the impeachment notice were constitutional matters, to which the governor must be rea‎dy to produce answers instead of “belligerent attitude” in the media in addressing serious issue of constitutional significance.‎

Advising the governor to respond to the allegations against him, he said running away from the Government House and using his aides to cover his track would not help him in defending his assault on the nation’s constitution and other infractions against the constitution that were already established against him in courts.

“It is good that his men are talking in the media about the need to uphold the constitution in this matter even though they behave short of upholding the constitution in their conduct.

“Even though the governor trampled on the same constitution when he led thugs to attack judges in court and tore court records in the Chief Judge’s office, our duty is to follow constitutional path in this impeachment process.

“These men that are flying the governor’s banner will soon see the law in action. This impeachment process is real. We must rescue Ekiti State from lawlessness and fraud. The N1.3 billion poultry project fraud case is still in court. There are still cases of unresolved murders.

“We have again seen the resumption of state-sponsored terrorism with thugs attacking and maiming Ekiti people‎ after a break in 2006 when the governor was impeached for fraud and attacks on opponents.

“We thought his impeachment trauma in 2006 would have thought him a lesson, but the governor has proved that he cannot survive in a society where the law works. We advise him to come out of hiding and defend himself because we are prepared to give him a fair hearing. That is the reality he must face instead of downplaying se‎rious matter of constitutional consequences,” the Speaker added.

when Late General Sanni Abacha died in june 1998 everyone was happy and dancing. Now that we have a new President elect in 2015, people are also happy and dancing. And most interesting part is that we are using 1998 calendar.
NIGERIANS want happiness

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 14 or so, now its payback time... chaii cant wait to see being disgraced out of office

Okoko bi oko!

Fayose is in a mess........

Fayose don enter one chance.

Una no reach

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are all going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom NOT even impeachment

Fayose will learn the hard way.

He should have saved all those millions he wasted on propaganda for his retirement funds.

Fayose will prostrate before Buhari BUT the law courts will have the last say.

He does not have the monopoly of madness
