Judge Declines Stoppage Of Fayose’s Impeachment Proceeding

Abuja: A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on
Wednesday refused to halt the impeachment
proceeding being spearheaded by the Ekiti State
House of Assembly against Governor, Ayodele
Fayose, and his deputy, Kolapo Olusola.
The impeachment proceeding notice is said to
have been served on the governor and his deputy
by the 19 All Progressives Congress members,
who have been at loggerheads with the governor
since he came on board last October.
Although Fayose has been working with only six
members of the PDP in the House, the APC
lawmakers, which the governor does not
recognise, returned to the state this week with an
impeachment notice, prompting the closure of the
House of Assembly by security agents.
