Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has given a hint that he may contest the 2018 gubernatorial election to enable him to serve his term which was truncated through what he called an orchestrated conspiracy of illegal impeachment in 2006.
Speaking in a live broadcast on Ekiti State Television in Ado-Ekiti today, Monday evening, Fayose said that he had chosen to put his image on a campaign poster currently circulating in many parts of the state because the nation’ s apex court had said that his impeachment in 2006 was illegal.
He said that he would approach the same court to interpret what that ruling means and also consider seeking a re-election in 2018.
”The continuity poster you see my image in and which is spreading across the state can be interpreted in two ways: First is the need for me to ask the apex court to explain its 2014 ruling that my so called impeachment in 2014 was illegal, null and void and consider a re-election in 2018 so that I can complete my term.
“Second is for me to get our own man, one who is like Ayo Fayose to continue after my tenure in 2018.”
It would be recalled that the Supreme Court in 2014, nullified the impeachment of Fayose, about seven months to the end of his first term. The apex court described the said impeachment as null and void. [myad]
