The Peoples Democratic Party has warned
the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop its nefarious plot to
impeach Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayo Fayose, or attract dire
consequences.....
PDP said that the impeachment plot, being arranged in connivance with the Police, was a recipe for crisis in the peaceful state.
“The PDP is aware that the plot is a
desperate bid by the APC to rush into the Ekiti Government House to
remove and tamper with documents and evidence confirming the rigging of
the July 14 governorship election, ahead of the sitting of the election
tribunal”, the party said in a press statement by its National Publicity
Secretary on Thursday.
“Having realized that there is no way
their daylight robbery at the poll can stand in the court, the APC is
now employing all desperate means to subvert the course of justice.
“This explains why a detachment of the
Police can be hurriedly deployed to besiege the Ekiti State Assembly
Complex last night without a formal request by the Speaker, the Clerk or
the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is the chief security officer of the
complex.”
The PDP stated that any resort to
underhand measures to impeach Fayose, without the constitutionally
required 2/3 of the members of the House, particularly at this time,
when the lawmakers are currently on their annual recess, will surely be
resisted by our members.
Accusing the APC of plotting crisis all
over the nation and resorting to the use of harassment, intimidation and
brute force against the people and the democratic institutions, PDP
warned that these dispositions of APC and its Federal Government portend
grave danger for the nation.
The party further added, “Now that the
political and parliamentary establishment of the Ekiti House of Assembly
has loudly declared that they do not require the services of the
detachment of policemen, PDP charges the APC to immediately withdraw
their armed agents from the premises of the House of Assembly.”
The PDP urged the judiciary to be firm
in standing by the truth on the Ekiti election and not be cowed or
intimidated by the threats and pressure coming from the APC, Nigerians
know the truth regarding the rigging of the Ekiti guber election by the
APC and are now looking up to the judiciary for justice in the matter.
