…Meet in Akure to strategize their moves

APC lawmakers in Ekiti has continued to push for the impeachment of governor Ayo Fayose as they met over the weekend in Akure to actualize their plans.

The APC lawmakers were said to be adamant on their plan to either impeach Governor Fayose or make the State ungovernable for him.

The Ekiti Movement for Good Governance (EMGG), in a statement by its Secretary, Dr Abiodun Aina, said Ekiti people will resist any attempt to prevent Fayose from governing the State for the four years tenure that he was elected to govern the State.

Dr Aina who said owner of the Hotel where the clandestine meeting was held last night confirmed that the APC lawmakers slept in the Hotel and left early Saturday, added that the lawmakers ran to Akure to hold the meeting because they knew that they were working against Ekiti people.

A leader of the APC, who came from Lagos was said to have assured the lawmakers of enough fund to prosecute the agenda tagged; “Operation Blockade.”

Apart from using the House of Assembly to frustrate Fayose’s Government, part of the agenda of the Operation Blockade was to step up criminal activities like armed robbery and kidnapping in the State.

Meanwhile, more reactions have continued to trail the APC legislators’ impeachment plot as youths under the aegis of the National Youth Council threatened to resist any attempt to impeach the governor.

Chairman of the Youth Council, Comrade Adedamola Gbenga said youths in the State will embark on a peaceful demonstration against the APC lawmakers on Monday.
