The Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has raised the alarm over an alleged plan by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) to impeach Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose.
The Party in a statement by its
National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan warned APC to stop its plot to
avoid some terrible consequences.
Ologbondiyan said the plot was
part of APC’s effort to gain access into the Ekiti government house and tamper with
documents and evidence of the alleged rigging of the July 14 governorship
election,
The statement reads in part: “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 says the impeachment plot,
which is being arranged in connivance with the Police, is a recipe for the
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.
“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 states 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 our democratic institutions, PDP warns
that these dispositions of APC and its Federal Government portend grave danger
for our nation.
“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.
“Finally, the PDP urges 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.!”
