The personality behind Ekiti State Assembly crisis revealed

VOICE AIR MEDIA

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has been accused by the newly-elected Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Gboyega Aribisogan, of being behind the crisis in the state Assembly.

VAM recalls that Aribisogan was elected last week following the death of Speaker Funminiyi Afuye.

The new Speaker claimed that the former governor has camped seven lawmakers in Fem Guest House, Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, planning for his impeachment.

He added that Fayemi was yet to congratulate him as the Speaker of State despite sending a text message to him about his emergence as Speaker of the Assembly.

“The majority of members of Assembly voted for me, but few of them, who felt, perhaps I did not follow the directive of the former Governor, Dr. Fayemi, thought that they would make the state ungovernable for even the administration,” Aribisogan on a Channels Television programme: “Sunday Politics.”

He added: “I didn’t have any quarrel with him.

“I sent a message to him even last night, asking: ‘What is happening? Am I no longer one of your loyalists? Why did you not congratulate me?’

“Up till now that I’m speaking with you, he has not done anything.

“Otherwise, he has been going around calling our members to go and impeach me tomorrow.

“That is the truth.

“As I’m speaking with you, seven of our members are locked up in Fem Guest House in Ado Ekiti, planning on how to impeach me tomorrow (today) in cahoots with some of his former aides like the former Commissioner for Justice.” CONTINUE READING…
