The political battle rocking Ekiti State seems to be
becoming more interesting by the day.
In its bid aimed at impeaching the embattled state governor,
Ayodele Fayose, the All Progressives Congress lawmakers in the Assembly, led by
its Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, had on Thursday asked the state Chief Judge,
Justice Ayodeji Daramola to set up a panel to investigate allegations raised in
the impeachment notice to the governor.
However, the impeachment saga took another twist yesterday as
the factional Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon. Dele Olugbemi has
also asked the CJ to ignore the request.
Addressing journalists on Friday in Ado Ekiti, Olugbemi said
the letter directing the CJ to raise the investigative panel did not emanate
from the office of the Speaker because Omirin had been impeached since November
20.
“We never wrote any letter to the Chief Judge directing him
to constitute an investigative panel, neither was the House involved in any
impeachment proceedings against the executive governor of our great state,” he
said.
