The impeachment proceedings against Ayodele Fayose, Governor of Ekiti State has today moved one step forward with a resolution by the House of Assembly, under the leadership of Speaker Wale Omirin authorizing the Chief Judge to set up an impeachment panel to look into the allegations of gross misconduct against the governor.
The resolution, obtained exclusively by SaharaReporters, was signed by the speaker and two other members of the "G19", the 19 majority members of the All Progressives Congress who want the two-time governor removed from office.
It was reported that the House membership met at an undisclosed location in Ado-Ekiti to discuss the way forward following the notice of impeachment they served against Fayose on March 3rd 2015.
Governor Fayose had appeared on a live radio and television show on Tuesday boasting that he was like Israel that is in the midst of enemies but would always prevail. He added that whoever wanted to remove him would first impeach God.
You will recall that in October 2006, Fayose with his first term deputy, Mrs. Biodun Olujimi, were impeached on corruption charges. If impeached again this time, he would be a record holder as the ONLY Nigerian that had been impeached twice in the same post.
