The Ekiti State House of Assembly has summoned the former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi to appear before the House on Feb.7.

The House at its plenary sitting on Thursday in Ado-Ekiti frowned at the failure of the former governor to appear before it for two consecutive times since March 8, 2016, when he was summoned.


The House had invited the former governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi twice on the allegation of diversion of N850 million State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB) counterpart fund.

The House, therefore, condemned the attitude of the former governor, saying he was responsible for the setback being witnessed in the education sector in the state.

Dr Samuel Omotosho, a member of the house said “the house is empowered by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under Section 129, Sub section 6, to issue a warrant of arrest to bring him before the court.’’

Another member of the House, Mrs Titilayo Owolabi said that the former governor should be given another opportunity to appear before the House on Feb.7.

She said that former governor should be compelled to obey the summon as “nobody is above the law’’.

Mr Ekundayo Akinleye, another member, expressed dismay at the damage the former governor had caused the state, alleging that it led to high level of illiteracy in the state.

not talking about the legitimacy of the claim or otherwise of it.
look at it this way, can nass summon gej or obj? even atiku sef or sambo? ordinary minister or commissioner no dey ans them, them dey summon governor, sincerely, due to our nature and culture, not everything written down in our law is realistic.
i see them as showing off, not because they want any relevant info from him nor to indict him, but to play to the gallery, i remember the case of senate sending omisore to question sanusi, i see nass(fed & state) as jokers
