Dr Kayode Fayemi, a former governor of Ekiti State, has been charged with orchestrating the crisis in the state Assembly by Gboyega Aribisogan, the newly elected speaker of the state house of assembly.
According to Prime 9ja Online, Aribisogan was chosen as a speaker last week after Funminiyi Afuye passed away.
In order to prepare for his impeachment, the former governor allegedly tented out seven MPs in the state capital of Ado-Fem Ekiti's Guest House.
He continued by saying that despite sending him a text message congratulating him on becoming Speaker of the State, Fayemi had failed to do so.
“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.”
