Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has absolved President Muhammadu Buhari of complicity in the long-drawn impeachment crisis in the state. He claimed that security report available to him revealed that Buhari was never part of the plot to impeach him from office.
Ayo Fayosea. Never not funny.
Fayose, who made the revelation on Friday during the inauguration of the Fifth House of Assembly, gave a warning to the new lawmakers to avoid what he called mindless power struggle with the Executive. He was apparently referring to the crisis of confidence between him and the immediate past Assembly which was dominated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers describing the last power struggle as crude and barbaric.
All the 26 members of the Ekiti Assembly were elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the April 11 House of Assembly elections. The lawmaker representing Moba 1, Kola Oluwawole, emerged the new Speaker, while his counterpart from Ekiti West 1, Segun Adewumi, was elected Deputy Speaker.
Fayose explained that he was at a loss why the APC legislators in the immediate past Assembly insisted on impeaching him when Buhari who is their leader had declared that he has no enemy to fight.
“Available security reports showed that Buhari had no hands in the impeachment plot against me.
“The President had said that he had no enemy to fight. He said he has put the past behind him and why are the APC lawmakers still bent on impeaching me? What is there own in this matter?”
Despite all efforts made to impeach him, Fayose pledged to pay all the entitlements of the 19 APC lawmakers and their seven PDP counterparts in the spirit of oneness and unity. He warned the new Speaker against being over ambitious like the other former occupants of the seat.
