Fayose contradicting self on impeachment proceedings –APC

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has said the state
Governor, Ayodele Fayose, is contradicting himself on the
move by the members of the state House of Assembly to
impeach him.
It commended the ruling of the Federal High Court rejecting
's the governor's request to stop the Assembly from going
ahead with the impeachment proceedings against him.
The party, in a statement on Thursday, said it was laughable
that the governor, who once desecrated the judiciary by
leading thugs to beat up judges and tear court records in the
Chief Judge's office, could approach the same institution to
protect him from his illegal acts.
It also expressed surprise that the governor could approach
a Federal High Court in Abuja for protection over a matter
that happened in Ekiti, after lampooning APC for
approaching same court in Jos Division while seeking
protection from the governor's alleged harassment and
attacks.
It added that the governor contradicted himself by
challenging the legality of his impeachment proceedings
when he had earlier claimed that he was not aware of any
impeachment move by the lawmakers.
The statement by Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun, said
the governor was confused on how to handle his cases in
court, having desecrated Ekiti State judiciary and instigating
the state judiciary workers to refuse resumption of duties.
It said, "Fayose didn't allow Ekiti courts to function and he
declared the State Chairman of the APC, Chief Olajide Awe,
wanted over a phantom murder charge. Chief Awe obtained
an injunction against arrest from a Federal High Court in Jos,
which the governor referred to as a 'black market
injunction'.
"He has now run to Abuja to get an injunction to restrain the
19 lawmakers from impeaching him but the court, in its
wisdom, has turned this request down."
The APC spokesman expressed delight at the court ruling,
saying the gesture was a warning to the governor and his ilk
that the rule of law had come to stay in Nigeria.
He added, "Bye bye to impunity and flagrant trampling on
the nation's constitution. The governor should get set for his
impeachment and we advise him to assemble his legal
representatives. The Assembly is prepared to give him a fair
hearing in the matter and he should be assured that he has
nothing to fear.
"Mr. Fayose must respond to the impeachment notice from
the House of Assembly and stop looking for an easy way
out."
Olatubosun noted that the emergence of Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) as the President-elect marked
the end of impunity in the country.
