EKITI LAWMAKERS BACKS FAYOSE CONDEMNS CALL FOR HIS REMOVAL

The Ekiti State House of Assembly has described those calling for the illegal removal of the State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, from office as jesters who are ignorant of the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria.

The Assembly also said the people are jobless and are mediocre who are only being used by their pay masters who have been rejected in the polls by the people of the state.

The assembly members spoke through their Speaker, Rt Hon. Kola Oluwawole, in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday.

While reacting to a statement credited to a group, the Coalition for Good Governance and Anti-Corruption, which said in Abuja on Tuesday that Governor Fayose should be removed from office.

The legislators added that should the people be desperate at seeing the removal of any head of government, there is one at their backyard in Abuja, that Nigerians are already clamouring for his removal for not keeping to his electoral promises, coupled with high handedness, subjection of Nigerians to hunger and deprivation, untoward hardships and tendency to dictatorship and absolutism as a result of flagrant disobedience to court orders.

The Ekiti lawmakers stressed further that they and the people of the state had no apology for standing by Governor Fayose.
