Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has expressed commitment to the peace move initiated by elders in the
state, led by Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) to find a political solution to the leadership crisis in the State
House of Assembly.
A seven-member caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Assembly had on November 20, 2014
impeached the Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin and and his deputy, Tunji Orisalade.
Mr. Dele Olugbemi, an ally of the governor was installed as the Speaker by the faction and has been
presiding over the Assembly.
Since then, the Assembly has been embroiled in a crisis leading to a feud between the governor and the 19 All
Progressives Congress lawmakers led by Omirin.
All efforts to resolve the crisis by the Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers and the Ekiti Council of
Elders had met a brick wall.
But Fayose on Tuesday in a statement personally signed by him said the peace of Ekiti State was far and
above all other interests and therefore everyone should support the elders peace efforts.
The governor promised commitment to the peace meeting scheduled to hold on Thursday at the Afe Babalola
University, Ado Ekiti, urging security agencies to make adequate provision for the peace meeting.
The statement read, “Ekiti elders under the leadership of our highly respected legal icon, Aare Afe Babalola
(SAN) called a meeting between the two factions of the State House of Assembly to resolve politically the
crisis in the House of Assembly and I, as the State governor does not have any objection because the peace of
Ekiti is far and above all other interests.
“The meeting is scheduled to hold at Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti at 11am on Thursday.
“I therefore call on everybody to support this peace move and no one should do anything to undermine it.
“Knowing how agitated and concerned the people of Ekiti have been on this crisis, I wish to urge our people
to give this peace effort a chance and I urge all security agencies in the State to see to it that adequate
security is provided before, during and after the meeting.
“I thank Ekiti people for their unflinching support for the government and appeal to them to continue to
maintain peace, bearing in mind that no society can progress in an atmosphere of rancour.”
