The Ekiti State House of Assembly has imposed N1m fine on the former governor of the state and current Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, for failing to answer three summonses served on him.
The fine was part of the two resolutions reached by the lawmakers at their plenary on Tuesday in Ado Ekiti.
The Assembly also agreed to write a reminder to the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, on the need to execute the warrant of arrest issued against Fayemi.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday after the plenary, the Chairman, House Committee on Information, Dr. Samuel Omotoso, said the Assembly derived the power to sanction Fayemi under Section 129(1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution.
He said, “It is public knowledge that this honourable house invited the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, at three consecutive times spanning a period of one year.
“The first invitation was sent on March 10, 2016, the second invitation was sent on November 29, 2016, and the third invitation was sent on February 2, 2017.
“Rather than attend to these invitations by the EKHA as empowered by Section 129 (1) (c) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and come to the Assembly to explain himself on allegations of corruption and abuse of office levelled against him by the executive arm of government, Dr. Fayemi prefers to play to the gallery.
“He ‘shadow-boxed’ himself by putting his face at the laws of our land, thus constituting a serious affront and threat to the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria.”
Omotoso maintained that the Assembly, under Section 129 (1) (c) of the constitution, had the power to invite anybody for information and clarification, especially on matters of evidence.
He added, “This we have done and Dr. Fayemi was officially declared wanted on February 7, 2017, and the police was adequately communicated through the IGP to effect his arrest forthwith.
“Up until this moment, the police have failed to carry out their constitutional duties as conferred by the 1999 Constitution of the FRN.
“This breach of the law of the land is one too many on the part of Dr. John Kayode Fayemi and stands condemned by this House and all lovers of democracy and the rule of law.
“Flowing from the above, this House today officially declares the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, as a lawbreaker; and in exercising our powers under Section 129, (1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria hereby imposes a fine of N1m on Dr. Fayemi and payable to the EKHA.”
Omotoso said the Assembly had begun a court process to obtain an order of mandamus that would compel the police to arrest Fayemi and bring him before the Assembly.

politics.

Excerpt.

I always say this; Nigerian elites politician belong to the same political party while d masses belongs to different political parties:- come to look at the following;

Kaduna - Abuja Express way rehabilitated under 50 days.

Railway track channel from Rigasa kaduna to kaduna International Airport under 30days.

Nnamdi Azikwe Bypass Express way street lightning to kaduna Airport under 30 days.

Police Aerial helicopter patrol from Abuja to kaduna from the days of flight diversion till the day redirection comes.

Police patrol van at every 10km from kaduna to Abuja 168km= Approximately 17 vans on standby.

All these above were done under 50 days just to ensure absolute comfort and maximum security for themselves. Becos they love each other dearly,they are very sincere to themselves, the passion and concern for the betterment of thier lives is incomparable

If no, before how many lives were lost on that road ?
How many people were kidnapped?
How many people were robbed?

Can u recall how many years it takes them to fix

Lagos-Ibadan express way
Zaria- Sokoto road
Abuja - lokoja
Mokwa-Jebba
They all become death trap because is not there route.

=m

Summon a federal minister?? Which state house does that??

Hahahahha..jokers

Ekiti House of Assembly simply have no rights to levy fines. This politicians are simply statute illiterate.......

jokers

nigeria

the only job these people do is to summon Fayemi, (I'm not against it,the question is what has been their achievement since) they're doing the bidding of their pay master (Fayose). I know the speaker of the of assembly,he can't personally manage anything successfully and he's leading the assembly. How do we expect this type of assembly to do anything meaningful. No meaningful bill has been passed,@ ordinary passage of budget,they don't have a say, their paymaster brought it to floor of the house and passed it himself. Bunch of toothless Legislators To Fayose's supporters, he's a tyrant disguising as a democratic leader.. If you want to confirm this try dare him,ask him about the unpaid salary and see if he won't tag you as an enemy (reference suspended NULGE chairman).. He can't diplomatically manage the crisis between state government and Ekiti pertroleum marketers,instead he resulted marking mosques within filling stations for demolition,trying to start another religious war.. What's the different between petrol stations that has offices,supermarket and the one that has mosque. They're all same thing. Coming back 4 adjustment

is it not only the judiciary that can fine?

mtcheww Nigeria is a big joke

Ok

I am amazed at the current crop of legislators both at the state and federal level. They are always swift to issue invitation which if not honoured would graduate to summon.

They failed​ to realize that the Power to make any one appear anywhere is with the Police.

Fayemi, please let my legal constituency have some money.

Sue them and make the IGP a party.

Get a perpetual order against them inviting you ever.

How may bills have they passed that have had direct impact on the lives of my people?

Jokers... Like Governor like members

Under which law was that taken from? It seems Nigeria is not ripe for legislative houses.

Misplaced priorities by Funny lawmakers trying hard to be relevant

So the fine will be forcefully taken from his pocket abi? Rubish.

Nigerian politicians are mostly imbeciles. Mostly, not all of them. But come to think of it, who is really to blame? What did you expect when you elect ruffians, nodogooders at the helm of affairs? Did you expect them to get to the office and change overnight?

You, and you and you elected them. So you guys, stfu! You hear.
How much better are many of us? Are you not doing worse in you area of influence? Civil servants especially; you're even worse than the politicians. Going into details of how individuals have betrayed this country is not in my immediate interest.

You elected people like Fayose, Saraki, etc into offices and now you're busy crying over splilled milk. What exactly is your problem? Every single member of that clownish state house of assembly was elected by people like you and I. Please don't come out here to say, "No, I did not elect anyone" thinking that inaction is any better. And when you eventually wake up from you delusion (if at all you have) and realize your mistake electing misfits into crucial offices, what do you do? Whine and pray and wish Nigeria was like US.

Get out of here. You are all to blame. We, are all to blame.

joke of the day

Lols

This robotic house should stop messing up one of the finest brains that we have in the land. What type of nonsense are they talking about ? Very laughable resolution .
