State Of Emergency In Ekiti?

Now we see OBJ is not committed to the rule of law. He does what he wants to do not the rule of law. The Niger-Delta requires a state of emergency but he is probably going to declare one in Ekiti if this report is true. Isn't there a court case already?

The current impasse in Ekiti State may soon come to an end. Sources in Abuja, who spoke to Elendureports.com, on the condition that their names will not be mentioned in this story, informed us that the Federal Government is putting finishing touches to a solution to the Ekiti crisis. To that effect, according to our sources, a state of emergency in Ekiti State will soon be announced by the Federal Government.

Already, a retired military officer, Maj. Gen. Tunji Olurin, is being considered as the Administrator of Ekiti State when the state of emergency is announced. Gen. Olurin, according to our sources, spent most of yesterday at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja. It is believed that he met with Pres. Olusegun Obasanjo.
 

The ongoing impasse was caused by the impeachment of Gov. Ayo Fayose, and his deputy, Biodun Olujimi, by the State House of Assembly. The State House of Assembly impeached the Governor and his deputy in a method that has been declared unconstitutional and illegal by the Federal Government. Also, the Chief Justice of Nigeria declared the appointment of an Acting Chief Judge for Ekiti State as unconstitutional, null and void.

The State Assembly had suspended the State Chief Judge because he set up a panel to investigate the Governor, in accordance with the requirements of the 1999 Constitution. However, the State Assembly did not like the composition of the Panel and directed the Chief Judge to empanel a new body. The Chief Judge refused and he was suspended by the Assembly and an Acting Chief Judge was appointed.

Following the illegal and unconstitutional impeachment of the Governor and Deputy Governor by the State House of Assembly, the Speaker, Friday Aderemi became the Acting Governor. However, the impeached Governor and Deputy Governor institute that they have not been impeached and therefore remain the number and two persons in Ekiti State Government.

Big B1 I seriously see that you have lost the thinking part of your medulla oblongata. what you just wrote has nothing to do with the issue in EKIti, due process of law my ass, justice delay is justice denied, we have exercise Patience as a nation and look at us now we still can't find any incriminating evidence against IBB, when will you open your eyes and start thinking and stop selling your soul for money. DAMN DUDE

This is very interesting; state of emergency ke?

Roscodaddy drag queen. we call fags fruit salad in the state what you upset cause i call your lover by the name,

Events are begining to unfold.  I know it would come to that.

Could this actually be d main target by d f.g.?

the president declared a state of emergency in ekiti state this morning after making strong references to constitutional provisions that "kick against" or rather "frowns" at  what the ekiti state law makers embarked on.Nigeria is fast becoming a civilized nation and a key example in sub-saharan africa.Do you think the president's action is the best or the situation can be better handled?

OBJ has planned this before, even though illegality was carried out in Ekiti in as much as their aim was noble, but they didnt follow the constitution ven though if they did Fayose wont be impeached anyway the scene is confusing, Our constitution is defective. OBJ just executed his plan as scheduled, anyway lets see what happened, its an irony to hear OBJ talking about upholding constitution when he has flagrantly abuse same so many times. lets see what happens.

Trust me folks, this current administration has it's own unique agenda. This is ridiculous, unacceptable and will never never help Nigeria or Nigerians in anyway to move forward.

We have to be smart and have the understanding of their action. Their action is not designed for us to benefit, but for them to stay longer in power.

Presidential election is few months away and they haven't approved any candidate as yet. They also continue to create chaos all over the country; dividing people and brainwashing citizens left and right.

Trust me, things could be done differently and their goals could still be accomplished effectively and efficiently, but they've chosen to focus on self docket or desire, instead of reforming the country and promoting democracy. 

How can you accuse governors for abusing their position when this administration can not even obey a simple law?
I think our major problems are from the examples this current administration has displayed; if the master can not obey the law, what hope does the followers have?

Think about it.

May God bless Nigeria

the president is not transparent in his administration. was this a first illegal act in the nation? what happen to ladoja impeachment can't Mr president declares state of emergency for that scenario?. Is high time we wake up from slumber if this irregularity continues we are in trouble. obj should finished with atiku and other crook governors and leave.

big 1, you do make alot of mistake in your comments. i sympathies with you for situation you found yourself, if you have a thief in the family could that be an excused for your stealing?

The political instability in Ekiti state is really worrisome, what it means that a group of people can come up and impeach a governor if they fall out with him/her.that is not democracy,I mean the federal government should do something.but declaring a state is emergency is rather extreme.I

Do I support the declaration? Yes and No

No - I think it is a little extreme.  Regardless of what the constitution says, the people of Ekiti elected that governor and I feel only they should have a say in terms of how the state should be run, via their elected (dare I say, rigged?  ) officials.  It shouldn't be dictated to them from the federal government.

Yes - Perhaps it will serve as a warning to other states, making them think twice before considering impeachment, no matter how grave the crime.  Perhaps, knowing he can't run for a 3rd term, he decided to milk the state's finances dry. 

Regardless, again my opinion, with primaries and elections coming up very soon, there should be no reason for an impeachment.  Censure or resignation, maybe, but not impeachment.  It's a damn shame 

I think that's just the best that could be done to achieve stability in that state now, or else thing gets worse

jas_o : Trust me, you're not ready!

president did not do well.
