The impeachment process against Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose, and his deputy, Chief (Mrs) Biodun Olujimi, walked into a constitutional crisis yesterday as the House of Assembly suspended the state Chief Judge, Justice Kayode Bamisile, for alleged corrupt practices and insubordination. The house i learnt immediately appointed Justice Jide Aladejana as acting chief judge of the state. The suspension was, however, dismissed as unconstitutional by Fayose and Bamisile who said, under the 1999 Constitution, only the governor could remove a chief judge with the support of two-thirds majority of the House. The House had at its yesterday session asked the chief judge to step aside for allegedly collecting N15million bribe from a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to grant an injunction, ex parte, against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Nigeria is a country where the impossible is possible, how do u see the development in Ekiti state which claims to be the fountain of knowledge. Is this a display of knowledge or a display of rascality, ?Who has the power to appoint and sack a judge?In this situation is the acting chief judge superior to a serving chief judge?
