Governor Fayose Tries To Escape Impeachment

Fayose firstly vanished from the state capital to avoid being served with the impeachment notice published by Sahara Reporters saying he had not seen the notification
Meanwhile, sources told journalists that since losing the presidential polls on March 28, 2015, President Goodluck Jonathan has denied to give army and police officers to continue the mischiefs that have pushed Mr. Fayose’s impunity in the state. President Jonathan is supposedly busy packing out of the presidential office in preparation for civilian life.
Overnight several parts of Ado-Ekiti were locked by assistants of Ekiti governor, who had promised to struggle legislators led by the legitimate speaker of the house of assembly from accessing the state capital to start Fayose’s impeachment. The speaker has pledged to commence and conclude the impeachment of the governor as soon as possible.
It should be noted that the 19 All Progressives Congress legislators in the state House of Assembly have begun moves for impeachment proceedings against governor Fayose and gave him 7 days to respond.
The lawmakers listed eight impeachable offences against the governor. These comprised supposed invasion of the House of Assembly with thugs and miscreants, instigating an unconstitutional takeover of the House by seven legislators to sit in contravention of Section 96(2) of the 1999 Constitution, and prevention of the 19 APC legislators from performing their duties with the use of security agents and armed thugs.

On his turn governor Fayose said lawmakers should first impeach God. He added that the people of Ekiti would defend his mandate against those he described as political usurpers whom they had denied twice in the last nine months.
It should be also mentioned that scores of supporters of Ekiti governor, blocked the access roads to the state House of Assembly Complex on April 6, Monday to protest the impeachment proccedings against Fayose.
Fayose was the PDP flag bearer in the 2014 governorship poll in Ekiti State slated for June 21, 2014. He won the election and was inaugurated on October 16, 2014.
Later an audio recording supposedly showing how the June 2014 Ekiti State governorship election was rigged, has been released online.
