Ekiti State Governor , Ayo Fayose , has absolved
President Muhammadu Buhari of complicity in the
long - drawn impeachment crisis in the state .
Fayose claimed that security report available to him
revealed that Buhari was never part of the plot to
impeach him from office .
The governor made the revelation on Friday during
the inauguration of the Fifth House of Assembly with
a warning to the new lawmakers to avoid what he
called “mindless power struggle ” with the Executive .
Apparently referring to the crisis of confidence
between him and the immediate past Assembly which
was dominated by the All Progressives Congress
( APC) lawmakers , Fayose described 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 .
Other principal officers are – Tunji Akinyele ( Oye 2 ) ,
House Leader and Sunday Akinniyi ( Ikere 2) as Chief
Whip .
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.
He said: “ 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 attempts made to impeach him, Fayose ,
however , pledged to pay all the entitlements of the 19
APC lawmakers and their seven PDP counterparts in
the spirit of oneness and unity.
Fayose , who promised to work with the new
Assembly to bring the state out of the wood ,
however , warned the new Speaker against being
over ambitious like the other former occupants of the
seat .
