19 Ekiti All Progressive Congress (APC) lawmakers really want Fayose to go to jail.

They have urged a Federal High Court, Abuja, to establish a contempt charge against Governor Ayodele Fayose for allegedly manipulating its ruling.

They warned that impunity and manipulation of facts of his impeachment case in the media won’t save him.

The lawmakers were reacting to media reports on the ruling of the Federal High Court ‎in Abuja which refused Fayose and seven Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers’ request which sought to bar APC lawmakers from continuing impeachment process against the governor.

Special Adviser to the Speaker Adewale Omirin, Wole Olujobi, said in a statement on Saturday that the APC lawmakers were surprised that Fayose and his men could deliberately misrepresent the fact of the ruling to mislead the public.

“It is incredible that the governor and the PDP lawmakers could manipulate the press again to mislead the public that the ruling by Justice Evoh Chukwu‎ was in their favour.

“While the judge clearly ruled that it could not stop Fayose’s impeachment without hearing from the APC lawmakers, the governor went to town, in a contempt of court to turn full circle the ruling by the judge,” the statement explained.

“He first raided the courts and chased the judges under their tables and subsequently closed the courts. After that, he closed the House of Assembly and chased the lawmakers out of town.

“Then it is the turn of the Fourth Estate of the Realm, the media, in a mindless fraud and manipulation of the press to have an upper hand in the face of flagrant trampling on the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the statement explained.

“Fayose is now creating for himself a reputation as an enemy of the state who within few months killed all democratic institutions and their supporting structures in Nigeria in a mindless pursuit of power.‎”
