The face -off between the 19 All Progressives Congress (APC)
lawmakers in Ekiti State House of A$$embly and Governor Ayo
Fayose may soon be over, as the governor says he is willing to
negotiate with the lawmakers
The lawmakers are pushing for the impeachment of the governor,
as they have directed the state Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji
Daramola, to constitute a panel to investigate allegations of gross
misconduct levelled against him and his deputy, Dr. Kolapo
Olusola
Speaking on Friday during a thanksgiving service at Ansar ud
Deen Mosque, Ado Ekiti on his victory at the Supreme Court, which
affirmed his election, Fayose said he was ready to sit with the
lawmakers and negotiate.
This statement was not without a caveat as the governor clarified
that he was ready to make peace with the lawmakers as long as
they were ready to embrace the move in the over all interest of the
state.
“I am not opposed to anything that can bring peace; peace cannot
be wished away. I’m ready to accommodate everybody. Whatever
they want, we can sit down and talk”, the governor stated.
“There is no perfect man. They should allow peace to reign. All I
want is peace that will energise development”.
He said he was waving the olive branch in the overall interest of
Ekiti people as well as restoration of peace.
Fayose said he had received calls and appeals for amicable
solution to the lingering crisis by eminent Nigerians, religious
leaders as well as traditional rulers.
The governor apologized to those he might have offended one
way or the other, in the course of carrying out his duties as
governor saying only God was perfect.
