The Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has called out his supporters
to rejoice with him on the streets today over the expiration of the term
of the 19 All Progressives Congress, APC, who had been at loggerheads
to impeach him.
The APC lawmakers had on April 4, 2015 issued a
notice of impeachment to Fayose, citing cases of abuse of office and
gross misconduct.
The lawmakers were, however, met with resistance as
PDP members blocked all entry points into the state in order to avoid
human and vehicular movement into the state.
Finally, as their tenure
ended, Fayose called on citizens to jubilate withh him. “I want to
thank the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, members, commercial drivers and
motorcyclists, market men and women and citizens of this state for
their continued support for me while the face-off lasted.
“With
the expiration of their tenure, there is relief for me and my
administration, and it is now time to perform my duties as governor of
the state. In view of my travail in the hands of the outgone lawmakers,
reprieve has now come to my government and I can now feel like a
governor.
“By tomorrow, Friday, June 5, (today) I shall be
embarking on a town procession in Ado Ekiti to thank my people for their
support. I want you to meet me at Fajuyi Park where I am going to
commence the procession and move around to give glory to God and
humanity.” Fayose said.
