Fayose Not Above Impeachment - Lawyer

Human Rights Activist, Osuagwu Ugochukwu has said in line with the Nigerian constitution, Ekiti state governor, Mr Ayo Fayose is not above impeachment.

It would be recalled that the Ekiti governor has in a letter to the Chief Justice of Nigeria raised an alarm over an alleged that plot by the APC to impeach him.

But Ugochukwu said once provision of section 188 of the Nigerian Constitution is completed a Governor can be validly impeached upon a resolution to be adoptedby not less than two-thirds majority of all the member the State House of Assembly


He said, "To me Governor Fayose is not above being impeached. Any Governor can be impeached by His or her state house of Assembly and there is nothing undemocratic about it.The process for impeaching a Governor of a State in Nigeria is contained in Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution.

"Once adopted the Governor shall stand removed from office as from the date of the adoption of the report.

"If the impeachment process succeeds in Ekiti state then Fayose stands removed as Governor. The office of the Governor will pass to the incumbent Deputy-Governor, and he will take the oath of office. Fayose should note that once he is impeached he loses immunity from arrest and prosecution and can be arrested by the IGP and prosecuted if there is any crime he may have committed.

"There is no point running to the Chief Justice of Nigeria.The CJN cannot save him from impeachment which is a legislative process. Those who are linking me to the plot to impeach Fayose are wrong. Besides there is nothing unlawful if the Ekiti House impeaches Fayose by complying with the Constitution. Let Fayose face his cross alone."

I KNOW FOR SURE FAYOSE WILL NOT SURVIVE IMPEACHMENT EVER SINCE HE MOCKED THE NIGERIAN ARMY & ALSO MADE BABA ADEBOYE TO BE RUBBISHED

FAYOSE, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE AGAIN.

What of Buhari?

Is fayose afraid of impeachment


Tot he is a superman

Fayose didn't said he's above impeachment or about to be impeached.

He alleged there are clandestine moves to coerce the judiciary to use Army Panel report to reverse his election victory.

All this uninformed lawyers sef.

Ok

Are you the one leading the impeachment plot and how did he mock NA, made Adeboye to be rubbished?

If Fayose won't know peace then what happens to Buboo under whose hundreds of Nigerians have been killed by hunger and Fulani terrorist herdsmen?

limeta:
What of Buhari?

exactly

If it is an impeachement the legal way, fayose have nothing to fear.
Ekiti house of assembly and the chief judge of Ekiti are behind him. Solidly!

But when a group of miscreants starts hanging around the national assembly,calling for the removal of a sitting governor , then he has every right and reason to call the attention of the chief Justice of the country to such a Travesty.
That is being pro active and cautious.

This Ugoshuku of a lawyer must be a charge and bail lawyer who lacks basic understanding of real politiks and political ambush strategies.

Waiting for this to make front page

when you are drunk you just walk in Nairaland to comment trashes just to show that you are drunk. If Fayose don't know peace how much more your Fulani herdsman who now leaves in Aso rock watching innocent Nigerians starve to death, his co-herdsmen slaughtering the Igbos and others armless citizens.

That's wot u zombies said about. Saraki......who is now the recognised VP

I would have wished that Fayose is ousted through whichever means, but the thought of Fayemi benefiting from it makes me think twice.

Anything is possible in Nigeria politics, if impeached he will enter Guinness book of record as the Governor to have been impeached twice.
