Ayo Fayose, the governor of Ekiti state has absolved
President Muhammadu Buhari of blame in the plot by the 19 All
Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers to impeach him.
Speaking
during the inauguration of the Fifth House of Assembly on Friday, June
5, the governor said he absolved the president of blame based on
findings he made, The Nation reports.
Fayose, exhorting the new lawmakers legislators to pursue peace in the course of carrying out their duties warned them to avoid “mindless power struggle” with the executive.
The governor criticised the immediate past Assembly which was dominated by the APC lawmakers for engaging in what he described as “crude and barbaric ” power struggle.
He said: “the President had said that he had no enemy to fight. He said he has put the past behind him and why are the APC lawmakers still bent on impeaching me? What is there own in this matter?
He promised to offset the outstanding entitlements of the 19 APC lawmakers and their seven PDP counterparts in the spirit of oneness and unity.
Governor Fayose was for months embroiled in a running battle with the 19 APC lawmakers in the Ekiti state House of Assembly. The law makers had vowed to impeach him over allegations of gross misconduct.
The governor appears to have survived the impeachment crisis following the expiration of the tenure of the lawmakers. All the newly sworn 26 members of the Ekiti Assembly were elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the April 11 House of Assembly elections.
