*Omirin’s security details restored
*Ekiti people will defend their mandate – Fayose
*As Adeyeye slams Ekiti APC lawmakers

ADO EKITI – OFFICERS and men of the Ekiti State Police Command have beefed up security network in Ado Ekiti and various parts of the state following the impeachment threat by the 19 All Progressive Congress, APC, lawmakers against the state governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose.
Speaking with newsmen in Ado Ekiti, yesterday, the state police Commissioner, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, said the command has put up a 24-hour surveillance around Ado Ekiti, the state capital particularly the state House of Assembly.

His words “Security personnel have been placed on alert while high visibility patrol is being conducted around Ado Ekiti. We know the tension generated must have caused some apprehension, but we are being proactive because the security of lives and property and general peace of the people is our topmost priority. We are leaving no stone unturned to ensure safety of our citizens and for everybody to go about their normal business without fear or harassment.”

The 19 APC lawmakers were said to have served notice of gross misconduct against Governor Ayodele Fayose, but the governor claimed ignorance over the letter, describing the APC lawmakers as jesters.

Omirin’s security detail restored

In a sudden twist of fate, the Police authorities were, yesterday, quoted as directing that the full security details of the factional Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dr. Adewale Omirin, be restored with immediate effect.

The development follows the restoration of the Department of State Service, DSS, personnel attached to Omirin earlier in the day through a directive said to have been issued from Abuja, according to a source close to the Speaker.

It is expected that the Omirin-led lawmakers would hold a plenary session at the Ekiti state House of Assembly on tomorrow, having adjourned after their sitting last Thursday at the same venue.

The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in the Ekiti State House of Assembly had last week initiated moves that may lead to impeachment proceedings against the embattled Governor Fayose.

The Speaker forwarded a notice of gross misconduct to the governor, with a copy of the notice also being sent to his deputy, Dr. Olusola Eleka.
But Fayose in his characteristic manner said the APC lawmakers should stop acting like “jesters”, describing the purported impeachment notice as the “joke of the century.” According to him, 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 the Ekiti people.

Offences levelled against Fayose
In the letter by the 19 lawmakers entitled, “Re: Notice of Allegations of Gross Misconduct,” sent to Fayose, the APC lawmakers listed eight impeachable offences against the governor.

The offences bordered on impunity, brigandage, stalking and other constitutional breaches including alleged invasion of the House of Assembly with thugs and miscreants, instigating an unconstitutional takeover of the House by seven legislators to sit in contravention of Section 96(2) of the 1999 Constitution, and prevention of the 19 APC legislators from performing their duties with the use of security agents and armed thugs.

Other allegations listed in the notice are: sponsoring an unlawful impeachment process in the house, spending Ekiti State funds without the requisite constitutional approval in contravention of the constitution and running the government without legally constituted Executive Council in contravention of Section 192(2) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. They also accused the governor of operating an illegal 2014 budget as well as sponsoring and instigating illegal sitting of the House in contravention of Section 96(1) of the Constitution.

Ekiti people will defend their mandate – Fayose
Meantime, Fayose was, yesterday, said to have described his governorship as a mandate freely and wholeheartedly given by Ekiti people, saying; “Ekiti people who are the owners of my mandate will defend it against political usurpers, whom they had rejected twice in the last nine months.”

According to his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor also urged the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Mahmud Mohammed, to sustain his stand of not allowing the use of the judiciary to change the outcome of elections.

Impeachment threat, a distraction, says Fayose

Fayose, who described the impeachment bid and Supreme Court judgment being made by the All Progressives Congress (APC) as plots to distract him from concentrating on governance and the coming Saturday’s House of Assembly election, called on members and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State not to be distracted from their goal of delivering all the 26 Assembly seats in the State to the party.

He said, “Sovereignty belongs to the people and the people of Ekiti State on June 21, 2014, surrendered their sovereignty to me to be their governor for four years. Instead of respecting the wish of Ekiti people, which they again affirmed on March 28 and will further affirm on April 11, the APC people that were rejected in two free and fair elections have been trying all tricks to return to power through the back door. They filed several cases in their bid to stop my inauguration as governor and even committed murder in the process.”

Speaking further, Governor Fayose said, “The Speaker of the State House of Assembly then, Dr Adewale Omirin, was assured of assuming office as
Acting Governor and that informed his non-attendance of my inauguration, as he was still hoping that even on October 16, 2014, a court order would be gotten to stop my inauguration. Their evil plots against the mandate of Ekiti people failed then, but up to now, they are not relenting. Today, though Omirin has been duly impeached, he still believes he can be Acting Governor while Dr. Kayode Fayemi that was roundly rejected by Ekiti people is also boasting that he will return to power through the instrumentality of the court.

“However, let me warn the APC as a party to respect the wish of Ekiti people as the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan respected the wish of Nigerians on the election of Major General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd). Any attempt to undermine the sovereignty of Ekiti people, using whatever instrument will be resisted by the people themselves because power belongs to the people and they have handed it to whom they desire to exercise till October 16, 2018. The APC gladiators in Ekiti should, therefore, emulate President Jonathan and the PDP by waiting till 2018 to try their luck again.”

Adeyeye slams Ekiti APC lawmakers
Meantime, the Minister of State for Works, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, has warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its members in Ekiti State to tread cautiously so as not to endanger democracy in the country, saying; “posting notice of impeachment of a State governor online when the House of Assembly never sat to pass any Motion for Impeachment is not only ridiculous, but criminal.” The minister said it was necessary that the President-Elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) should call members of APC in Ekiti State to order so that they don’t by their desperation for power in Ekiti State truncate democracy on Nigeria.

Meanwhile,the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Ado Ekiti branch has cautioned both members of APC and PDP not to cause breach of peace in the state. According to the statement by the Ado Ekiti branch chairman, Dr Foluke Dada, yesterday, the association urged all the stake hohders in the state to intervene so that the state will not be turned into a theatre of war.

The NBA equally called judicial staff operating under the banner of State Judiciary Staff Union (JUSUN) to suspend its current strike action so that all pending matters affecting state matters could be adjudicated upon in the interest of all.

Omirin insists there’s no hiding place for Fayose

Meanwhile the factional speaker, Dr. Omirin, last night insisted that the move against the governor was not a joke saying that Governor Fayose would soon realise that there would be no hiding place for him.

Insisting that the move against him was constitutional, the speaker also dismissed the claims by the speaker of the G7 legislators, Dele Olugbemi, saying that the governor and his appointed speaker were acting in ignorance.

In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media to the Speaker, Wole Olujobi, Omirin said Ekiti issue was a matter of rescuing 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.”

so fayose can be this humble?
I can only wait to have the last laugh
for fayose is the architect of his own doom
he will be impeached the second time
and will never be able to make a comeback
that is if he doesn't even end up in jail
i just pity his wife
heard she's a good woman
she must have seen it coming though

Fayose will be impeached, and nothing will happen. The end of PDP is near.

The first governor to unsit incumbent twice, the first governor to be impeached twiced in Nigeria. What a record. I no see the Jupiter wey go save you.
Ekiti deserves someone better than fayose.
A rude boy/tout is always a rude boy/tout..
Ekiti state also want #change.

Long live Buhari
Long live APC
Long live Ekiti state
Long live Nigeria

This Fayose, for his own personal gain resulted to do-or-die campaign which contributed to factors that cost GEJ his re-election. Now that GEJ is trying to restore rule of law before going back to Otuoke, the lawmakers think he should go with his boss.

In the nearest future, about him, we'll write: twice he tasted state house and twice he was chased out like a bastard

Fayose is a parrotic miscreant.

May we continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy.

Impeachment is a very democratic tool available to lawmakers and if the lawmakers who represent the people of Ekiti state determine after a fair hearing that Fayose should be impeached, then so be it.

It's almost time,
assuming i am among those lawmakers i will give him just one option, to beg the whole country and admit he was really wrong for trying to spoil the image of the people's general and for unlawfully chasing the lawmakers out of the house. HE WILL PUBLISH IT IN PUNCH AND SUN NEWSPAPER FOR 2WEEKS CONSECUTIVELY

Law and order will be kept while the masses drag that thug out of Government House.

BTW, when is Fayose publishing another Obituary?

I don't pity Ayo Fayose a bit! Thought Gej was going to be rigged in against the wish of the people. Worse part is he might end up in jail for his role in #ekitigate.

The day PDP lost at the Federal level signifies the end of Fayose.

I trust GEJ,he needs so many people to go down with him,so he would want the rule of law to prevail without any interferance..

Fayose dug his grave and he will surely lie in it. He broke all the Yoruba rules of reverence for elders, low profile, love and conformity, arrogance and pride. He abused the gods, kith and kin. Now he is all alone with his backer and chief law breaker sent packing to his village.

Yoruba people have already consigned him to the dust bin and he will get no reprieve.
He will be impeached, tried and sent to jail where all thugs belong. Power is transitional, so take easy.
Yoruba people will say, "ile nyo 'yan, te jeje" The ground is slippery, step lightly.

I support this impeachment moves.

Fayose that used 7 Assembly members to chse 19 out

That was wishing death on Buhari

That told us his mom wears pampers must now be prepared to answer impeachment moves

Karma is a b*tch,an eye for an eye

APC wants to make lagos more beta place for lagosians but without the federal support, they cant do it alone. So now that they got federal support, lets support them to make lagos a better place. We should not go back to old times in lagos now that we have the chance.
Vote Ambode for governor.
Vote APC.

And they are set to get rid of their first and worst nightmare.

See the crook trying to rally "Ekiti people" to come to his rescue. When you were busy insulting your mother, wishing people dead, calling people all manner of unprintable names, did you do so with the approval of the Ekiti people

I'm very sure your mom has already placed a curse upon you. Your end would be very disgraceful.

Impeachment is the best punishment for this Governor, I can't help but stop imagining the way he slapped the Judge sitting in the Court.. His immunity of installing a new Speaker whose installation was done by just 7 lawmakers out of 26. only in Nigeria certain things happen..
He also went far by publishing Buhari's death advert on PUNCH newspaper..
Even if you scape through this one you will surely meet your downfall at the riverside..

creepsyme:
Fayose! fayose! fayose! I warned u and ur unruly and viral way u were trying to pull buhari down inside my mind. Now the pit u tried to dig for buhari is waiting for you to fall into it. U go knw hw far.
