In yet another reaction to the impeachment plot against
him, the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said
that his mandate will be defended by the Ekiti people who
he said “freely and wholeheartedly” voted him in.
“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,” Mr. Fayose said.
Nineteen lawmakers of the opposition All Progressives
Congress had on Friday served Mr. Fayose and his deputy,
Kolapo Olusola, an impeachment notice.
The lawmakers gave them seven days to respond to
allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.
They raised eight impeachable offences against the
governor and his deputy, which include; the 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 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria;
Prevention of the 19 APC legislative members from
performing legislative duties with the use of security
agents and armed thugs; and Sponsoring an unlawful
impeachment process in the House.
They also accused the governor of spending Ekiti State
funds without requisite constitutional approval in
contravention of the Constitution; running the
Government of Ekiti State without legally constituted
Executive Council in contravention of Section 192 (2) of
the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria;
operating an illegal 2014 Budget and Instigating illegal
sitting of the House.
Mr. Fayose, who spoke via a statement released by
spokesperson, Lere Olayinka, on Sunday, also urged the
Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmud Mohammed, to sustain
his stand of not allowing the use of the judiciary to change
the outcome of elections.

Mr. Fayose, said the impeachment move is a plot to distract him from
concentrating on governance and the coming Saturday’s House of Assembly
election.
He called on members and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party in
the State not to be distracted from their goal of delivering all the 26
Assembly seats in the State to the party.
“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,” he said
Mr. Fayose said the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Adewale
Omirin, was assured of assuming office as Acting Governor and that
informed his non-attendance of his 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, even 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 Muhammadu 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,” he said.

I see fear in you Fayose

So much fears written all over him

All I hear in him is fear. When is Fayose publishing another Newspaper Front Page advert?

Fayose statement shows that there is fire on the mountain. Let's wait and see.

He thinks Ekiti people will stick out their necks for him the way Nasarawa people did for Almakura. Unfortunately, he has disgraced the entire Ekiti people. I hope they still have confidence in him.

Can't still understand all this elders still chewing feeding bottle,ok where they with you when you were enchanting with both side of your mouth?
We really needs leaders with diginity!

And somebody. Considers him as a role model

If APC wants Fayose impeached,they would have to endeavor to win next saturday's elections. As long as PDP remains in power Fayose would never be impeached.
