Ekiti APC Lawmakers Discontinue Suit Against Fayose by lalasticlala(mod): 10:10pm On Apr 09, 2015
The 19 members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), have filed a notice of discontinuance of a suit they instituted against Governor Ayo Fayose at the Federal High Court in Lagos.

The lawmakers had filed the suit against the state governor and others, to challenge the purported impeachment of Hon. Adewale Omirin as Speaker, and running of the House by only seven members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The APC lawmakers were alleged to have earlier fled the state after Hon Omirin’s impeachment, but were directed by the party to return after the March 28 Presidential elections.

A copy of the notice of discontinuance which was signed by the 19 lawmakers was obtained on Thursday by Channels TV’s judiciary correspondent, Shola Soyele.

In the suit, the APC lawmakers had specifically argued that by the provision of the constitution, the 7 PDP lawmakers lacked the legal right to take decisions on behalf of the House.

The plaintiffs had also asked the court to declare that Hon Omirin and his deputy are entitled to occupy their offices, except removed by two-third majority votes of the assembly.

The lawmakers also sought a declaration that Governor Fayose’s alleged attempt to force them to join the PDP and denounce the APC is against their constitutional rights to freedom of association.

They then asked the court to hold that the election of the PDP’s Dele Olugbemi as Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly was illegal, saying all deliberations and actions of the seven lawmakers were invalid.

Meanwhile, Governor Fayose, in a preliminary objection filed by three of his commissioners, asked the court for an order striking out or dismissing the suit in its entirety, for lack of jurisdiction.

Good they retraced their step, why impeach a sitting governor few days to house of assembly electionshuh Why try to impeach a governor after APC won the presidential electionhuh Why didn't try to impeach him before presidential electionshuh After leaving their duty post for a while and coming back after GMB's victory...

I wonder if their personal vendetta against fayose is more important than the state, set of "confussionists", we still have along way to go in this country...SMH

Hehehe. What a way to finally dig his impeachment grave. Nothing can save Fayose. He will make history as the only Governor to be impeached twice. Apparently, he never learned his lessons.
