Factional speaker of the Ekiti state House of Assembly, Dele Olugbemi, on Friday urged the state Chief Judge, Justice Ayo Daramola, to disregard any letter from the assembly directing the CJ to constitute an investigative panel to probe the governor in relation to an impeachment notice.
Olugbemi, at a press conference held in front of the Speaker's official residence in Ado Ekiti, said no such letter emanated from the assembly.
At the press conference were the seven lawmakers on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, the speaker's aides and Sergeant at Arms. The speaker also displayed both the old and new mace of the assembly to prove that he was still in control of the assembly.It will be recalled that the 19 APC lawmakers, led by Speaker Adewale Omirin had on Thursday sat at the Mary Hills Secondary School, Ado Ekiti, where they said it was resolved to write a letter requesting the CJ to raise a seven-man panel within seven days to probe the governor on alleged impeachable offences.
The APC lawmakers had earlier dispatched a 'notice of misconduct' to the governor accusing him of eight impeachable offences bordering on impunity, violence, maladministration, spending state's funds without approval of the assembly among other constitutional breaches
