The leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of planning to impeach Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose.
A statement yesterday in Abuja, the nation’s capital, by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, cautioned the sponsors of the alleged plot to desist or attract “dire consequences”.
The PDP also said the impeachment plot was being concocted in connivance with the police, warning that the development is a recipe for crisis in the state.
The statement said: “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 realised 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 two-thirds of the members of the Assembly, particularly at this time the lawmakers are on their annual recess, will surely be resisted by our members.”
