Members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly have
raised the alarm over plot to coerce them into
impeaching Governor Ayodele Fayose, revealing that a
sum of $1 million was being promised some of the
members that will be ready to be part of the impeachment
plot.
The Assembly members, who vowed not to collaborate
with anyone to truncate the government of Governor
Fayose, added that, they were prepared to spend the rest
of their tenure in DSS cell, instead of joining people that
they roundly defeated in five straight elections to cause
another political instability in Ekiti State.
Addressing the press on Tuesday, Chairman of the House
Committee on Information, Hon Gboyega Aribisogan
disclosed that "In the last four days, eight of our
members had been visited by some men, who claimed to
be officials of the DSS.
"Our members were told that their names were among
those to be arrested and they must 'cooperate' if they do
not want their bank accounts frozen and be kept in DSS
detention indefinitely."
The lawmakers said the 2006 experience, in which
Assembly members in Ekiti State were hounded in EFCC
detention and made to sign impeachment of Governor
Fayose on the table of the EFCC Chairman will never be
repeated in the State.
Aribisogan, who was flanked by 13 other members of the
House of Assembly said: "We are here to inform the
public through your various medium the open
involvement of men of the Department of State Service
(DSS) from Abuja in the plot to unseat our State
Governor, Mr Peter Ayodele Fayose.
"Last Friday's invasion of the State House of Assembly
by armed men of the DSS in which four of our members
were abducted, has been established to be a prelude to
the clandestine plot to coerce members of the House of
Assembly to impeach Governor Fayose.
"As at today, even Hon Afolabi Akanni that we were able
to confirm was with the DSS in Abuja is being held
incommunicado. No one has been
given access to him, not even his lawyers and doctors.
We do not have any information as to the whereabouts of
the other three.
"We are aware of the plot to arrest no fewer than 18 of
our members with a view to forcing them to sign
impeachment notice against Governor Fayose.
"The plot is being hatched by the same elements who
masterminded the impeachment of Governor Fayose in
2006, which was eventually declared
illegal by the Supreme Court and they are boasting of
support of the DSS and the Presidency.
"In the last four days, eight of our member had been
visited by some men, who claimed to be officials of the
DSS. Our members were told that their names were
among those to be arrested and they must “cooperate” if
they do not want their bank accounts frozen and be
kept in DSS detention indefinitely.
"They went on to promise that proper arrangement had
been made for the impeachment of the governor, with a
sum of $1 million already earmarked for sharing among
“cooperating” assembly members.
"Also, our members were told that they will be provided
with soft-landing in the APC if they cooperate. One of
them revealed that they promised to make him the
Speaker, and eventually the Acting Governor.
"We however wish to tell the plotters of evil against the
government of Ayodele Fayose and by extension the
people of Ekiti State that we, members of the State House
of Assembly are not interested in their evil plot.
"We are prepared to spend the rest of our tenure in DSS
cell, instead of joining people that we roundly defeated in
five straight elections to cause another political
instability in Ekiti State.
"These agents of destabilisation should be reminded of
the 2006 episode, which was responsible for Ekiti State
having six governors in three years!
"Most importantly, Governor Fayose is our benefactor.
He is our leader on whose political strength we are
members of the State House of Assembly. We can even
be called his stooges, we don’t mind. We will never do
anything to jeopardise his interest and be
extension, interests of Ekiti people.
"We therefore wish to state unequivocally that we are not
interested in any $1 million. "We won’t because of any
blood money join forces with enemies of our State, who
are desirous of destabilising the State just because
they lost power."
