Impeachment: ‘jonathan Tells Fayose To Resign, Says Time Of Impunity Is Over’ by Nobody: 8:10pm On Apr 05, 2015
Outgoing President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has
told the embattled Governor Ayodele Fayose of
Ekiti state to resign now or face the inevitable
option of impeachment by the 19 lawmakers of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
Jonathan was said to have told Fayose that the time of
impunity in Nigeria is over and that he (Jonathan) is
committed to the rule of law. “As you can see, I am
already packing my personal belongings out of the
Villa, back to my Village, I cannot influence any
process, we must allow the law to run its full course,
we cannot continue to disrupt due process, that is not
good for the country.”
According to a source, Fayose (and the Ondo state
Governor, Olusegun MImiko) were deliberately absent
at the post election meeting held with Jonathan in Aso
Rock because of the dismal performance of the PDP in
the South West despite the last-minute huge
investment and the promises that the zone will be
delivered to the party.
The 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in the
Ekiti State House of Assembly have begun moves that
may lead to impeachment proceedings against
Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The factional Speaker of the Ekiti state House of
Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin, had last
week,forwarded a notice of gross misconduct to the
governor, a copy of the notice was also 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.
In the letter by the 19 lawmakers titled, “Re: Notice of
Allegations of Gross Misconduct,” sent to Fayose, the
APC lawmakers listed eight impeachable offences
against the governor. These offences bordered on
impunity, brigandage, stalking and other constitutional
breaches.
These included 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.
It was also learnt that moves by the embattled
Governor Fayose, who published some death-wish
adverts against the candidacy of the President-elect,
Gen Muhammadu Buhari, to seek a truce with Buhari
has hit brick walls.
Fayose was said to have sent some emissaries through
some traditional rulers in Ekiti state to help him appeal
to Buhari for forgiveness, saying that his attacks on
him were not personal but part of politicking.
The Supreme Court has also reserved ruling till April
14 in the appeal find by the APC in Ekiti state
challenging the emergence of Fayose as governor in
the June 21, governorship polls, in which the PDP won
in all the 16 local governments of the state.
