Falana: Why Fayose Cannot Seek Re-election by deantimes(op): 2:00pm On May 24, 2017

HUMAN rights lawyer , Mr. Femi Falana ( SAN) , has described as anomalous the likely bid by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State to seek re – election in 2018.

Fayose had said on Monday that he would contest the 2018 governorship election so that he could serve his first term which was truncated in 2006.

Fayose was impeached in 2006 , but the Supreme Court in 2014 nullified the impeachment that ousted him from the office about seven months to the end of his first term.

Speaking on a live broadcast on Ekiti State Television in Ado- Ekiti on Monday evening, Fayose said that since the apex court had said that his impeachment in 2006 was illegal, he would then have to approach the same court to interpret what that ruling meant and also consider seeking a re -election in 2018.

But Falana said on Tuesday that Fayose ’s bid to seek re – election would amount to tenure elongated which no court could grant.

He said , “ Tenure extension by a governor under any disguise is anomalous . No court can prolong the tenure of a sitting governor buying the two terms prescribed by the Constitution.

“ In the case of Gov Rasheed Ladoja v INEC the appellant wanted an extension of his term of office to allow him to spend extra 11 months while he was fighting his impeachment from outside.

“ Although the Supreme Court had set aside his impeachment it was held that the relief was illegal and unconstitutional.

“ Similarly, the governors who were re -elected after their initial election was annulled, the Supreme Court made it abundantly clear that tenure extension was unknown to the Constitution. In view of the settled position of the law on the matter , Governor Ayo Fayose cannot be granted by any court in Nigeria .”

An Ekiti indigene is talking about an issue that will affect his state and you said he is dabbling into an issue that doesn't concern him?
Please give your self an intelligence rating, with -0.09 being the maximum achievable level by anybody with your mentality.

A man was impeached before his tenure expired. The highest court of the land said, "noo, na ojoro una do this man".is this man not supposed to finish his tenure? Is that not the right thing to do?

Hatred wan kill una for this country

How does it not concern him? Is he not a senior lawyer in Nigeria?? Cant he give his opinion on matters of the law again?

Or is he not from Ekiti state? Can't he comment on issues pertaining to his state?

We all know Fayose is a joker...

But Oga Falana you are a hired critique. You are very quick to criticise the opposition but goes suddenly dumb when it involves the government

Since u are very proactive, why didn't you advice the president to show Nigerians his Waec Certificate? Instead you led a long queue of S.A.N'S to court to defend the indefensible ...

Abeg Oga park well...

Is Fayose saying he had not been elected in 2014 he would have prevented an electoral process for a new governor?

Is he also thinking he can achieve an extension to his tenure now?

Fayose loves to waste the scarce resources of the state of Ekiti.
