The seven Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) lawmakers in the Ekiti State House of Assembly have called on the Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, not to constitute a seven-man panel to investigate Governor Ayo Fayose on alleged gross misconduct.
The nineteen All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers, led by Speaker Adewale Omirin had on Thursday at a special sitting held at Mary Hills Boys High School, Ado-Ekiti passed a resolution directing the Chief Judge to set up the panel.
But the PDP lawmakers led by factional Speaker Dele Olugbemi dissociated themselves from the impeachment plot urging Justice Daramola to discountenance the resolution of the majority lawmakers.
Addressing a news conference in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, Olugbemi accused Omirin of impersonating him saying the latter had ceased to be Speaker when he was ‘impeached’ by seven PDP lawmakers on November 20 last year.
He urged the CJ not to act on the letter written by the majority APC lawmakers describing the letter as “impersonation and usurpation of his power”.
Olugbemi said he and the Clerk of the House, Tola Esan had earlier written the CJ on April 4 to refute a letter from the Office of the Speaker leveling allegations of gross misconduct against Fayose.
He revealed that he had written to the authorities of the Nigeria Police Force and Department of State Services seeking their assistance to arrest Omirin for impersonation and forgery of Speaker’s letterhead.
