SPEAKER of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin, on Wednesday, in Osogbo, capital city of Osun State, said contrary to speculations, the Legislature, under his authority never planned to impeach Governor Ayo Fayose.
He described his purported removal by seven Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers as a breach of the nation’s constitution, contending that he remained the authentic speaker of the assembly.
Speaking when he led members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on a visit to Osun State House of Assembly, on Wednesday, Omirin urged Nigerians to speak against what he termed illegality playing out in Ekiti State, expressing fear that such development was antithetical to the nation’s democracy.
Omirin, who was accompanied by his deputy, Adetunji Orisalade, while briefing Osun State Legislature on what culminated into the crisis in Ekiti State, asserted that “we never contemplated to impeach the state governor.”
He, however, accused Fayose of allegedly attempting to stampede the assembly to get his proposals approved on removal of caretaker committee for newly created local development areas created by former governor, Kayode Fayemi, screening of list of commissioners and N2 billion loan forwarded to the assembly.
In his remark, Orisalade observed that there was nothing wrong for both the executive and legislative arms of government to dialogue in order to resolve differences, lamenting that Fayose always wanted to have his way without recourse to due legislative process.
Responding, Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Honourable Najeem Salam, tasked lovers of democracy not to keep quiet on Ekiti State crisis, maintaining that three unidentified members allegedly co-opted by the PDP lawmakers to commit illegality should be arrested and prosecuted.
While expressing the assembly’s support to their counterparts in Ekiti State, he said Osun State parliament would join forces with others to fight against the act of illegality committed by PDP legislators in Ekiti State House of Assembly.
