Ekiti Crisis: No Speaker Was Impeached - Fayose Speaks Up

Governor of Ekiti state, Ayo Fayose has
debunked reports that the speaker of the
state House of Assembly, Adewale Omirin,
was impeached on Monday.
Report had earlier surfaced that 7 PDP members of
the house of assembly who recently defected to the
PDP from APC met at the state assembly complex
without the speaker or the deputy to carry out the
illegal impeachment of the Speaker of the house.

They were also said to have elected one Dele
Olugbemi as the Speaker pro-tempore, an action
described by some as a technical impeachment of
the substantive Speaker, before approving
nominations sent in by the governor. The approvals
fueled reports Mr. Omirin had been technically
removed from office.
"If they remove their leaders and appoint new ones,
that is their business. However, to educate the
public, no speaker was removed."
The All Progressives Congress, APC had condemned
the action of the members of the PDP.
Reacting to the APC, Fayose said they are only being
hypocritical.
He said: "APC-controlled state of Edo, we all know
what is happening there. For over a year now, the
state governor has prevented the lawmakers from
sitting.
"He said he was going to renovate the Assembly
Complex and PDP lawmakers have been meeting in
the dilapidated complex, while APC lawmakers are
meeting at the Government House.
"Also another APC state of Rivers, the judiciary has
been shut down for over a year too."
