The Elders’ Forum in the Ekiti State
chapter of the All Progressives
Congress has declared that there is
no escape route for the state
Governor Ayo Fayose in the
impeachment process initiated by 19
members of the state House of
Assembly.
The body said Fayose has serially
breached the Constitution,
desecrated the esteemed office he
occupies and should be ready to face
the consequences of his actions.
The Publicity Secretary of Ekiti APC
Elders Forum, Dr. Bayo Orire, who
made the group’s position known on
Tuesday, also warned the military
and the police against being used to
hinder the lawmakers from carrying
out their constitutional functions.
Condemning the military for turning
back the 19 APC lawmakers from
entering Ado-Ekiti, the state capital
on Tuesday, Orire said the party’s
elder body was concerned about an
alleged open partisanship of officers
and men of the Nigerian Army on
the matter.
He also said the police and the Army
should not be watching helplessly
for hoodlums to seize the whole
state and interfere with the
constitutional duties of the
Assembly members.
Dr. Orire explained that the
lawmakers should not be blamed for
signing and forwarding an
impeachment notice against Fayose,
saying a responsible House of
Assembly was not expected to look
the other way when the chief
executive was overstepping his
bounds.
He said Fayose has violated the oath
he swore to defend the Constitution
and not do anything to infringe on
the rule of law, urging the people of
the state not to see the action of the
lawmakers as an attack on the
governor but to save the state from
impunity and sliding into an
“irredeemable dictatorship.”
The APC elders’ spokesman
maintained that whatever
constitutional action taken by the 19
lawmakers remain legitimate, legal
and binding since they have met and
surpassed the two-third majority
needed to remove an erring
governor.
