I've Told Fayose To Resign: Time Of Impunity Is Over - Pres Jonathan by Sirniyeh(m): 8:14pm 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 deliberatelyabsent 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.

Fayose the most irresponsible Governor in Nigeria.

He has two options on the table:

1. Either he voluntarily resigns or;

2. He is impeached for the second time.

The choice is left for Fayose to make. Never again will we be graced with this crass ediotic being as a Governor.
