The 19 members of the Ekiti State House of Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have filed a notice of discontinuance against a suit they instituted at the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The lawmakers had filed the suit against the state Governor, Ayo Fayose, and others to challenge the purported impeachment of Adewale Omirin as Speaker, and the running of the House by only the seven members of the House, who are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
All the 19 lawmakers signed the notice of discontinuance which was dated April 7, 2015.
The notice reads: “Take notice that the plaintiffs doth hereby wholly discontinue Suit No. FHC/L/CS/1823/14 against all the defendants.”
The surprised move to discontinue the suit was said to be connected with the fresh impeachment moves against Fayose.
The APC lawmakers had earlier fled the state after Omirin’s impeachment, leaving the PDP members to be going on with legislative activities.
