These 26 PDP lawmakers have contradicted themselves with a high degree of hypocrisy

by Kolapo Olapoju

The new boys in the building – the 26 fresh Peoples Democratic Party lawmakers-elect have shown us a glimpse of things to come with an exhibition of hypocrisy and contradiction in what is possibly their first official statement.

The lawmakers, while trying to say they will be equitable and law-abiding in the disposition of their duties- managed to condone an unlawful act that was perpetrated by their predecessors in cahoot with their mentor/leader, Governor Ayo Fayose.

During a press conference in Ado Ekiti, the lawmaker-elect for Moba Constituency 1, Kola Oluwawole, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues- said they will do “exactly what the constitution empowers”, yet described the agitations and impeachment move against Fayose by the 19 APC lawmakers as an “unnecessary hullabaloo.”

In essence, the 26 PDP lawmakers are calling an illegal impeachment of Adewale Omirin and the harassment of the 19 colleagues in the APC as unnecessary.

Read:

“The next Assembly won’t be rubberstamp. We are going to give the people robust legislation through thorough and dispassionate debate of issues brought before us. We can disagree with the Governor , if that will make Ekiti better, but that will not truncate our relationship as brothers and sisters. We will do exactly what the constitution empowers us to do, which is to serve as checks and balances to the executive.”

“The Lagos and Osun Assemblies in the Southwest were populated by members of APC, does that make them rubberstamp? So, it will be wrong for people to think we are going to be rubberstamp because we are Fayose’s loyalists.”

“Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State inherited a PDP-dominated Assembly from Prof Osunbor, but he was not driven out of town because of this. Omirin and other APC lawmakers should forget about personal ambitions and give the needed cooperation to the Governor.”

“It is an understatement to say that the APC has continued to find ways to destroy the government and make Ekiti ungovernable. You cannot but notice the underhand deals of these legislators , the scandalous and moral bankruptcy that had reduced Ekiti to a State of anomie in the last six months.”

“It is disheartening to see supposed men of honour to descend so low and bring shame and odium, not only to the government but to their state and make their people a laughing stock in the eyes of other Nigerians. Ekiti people are people with high integrity. This unnecessary hullabaloo has dealt a devastating blow on our moral psyche and our image as a people has been seriously battered.”

“We are calling on the people to appeal to the conscience of the APC lawmakers and their sponsors to stop the demonisation of our governor and the PDP as a party. They are advised to stop these destructive campaigns and focus on issues of development.”
