‘We didn’t direct Ekiti CJ to constitute any investigative panel’ - Six PDP Caucus in the Ekiti State House of Assembly



The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) caucus in the Ekiti State House of Assembly addressed newsmen on Friday and said that their Speaker, Mr. Dele Olugbemi, did not direct the Chief Judge of the state, Justice Ayodeji 
The factional speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon Dele Olugbemi
has carpeted the purported letter said to have been written by the
former speaker, Dr Adewale Omirin asking the state Chief Judge (CJ) to
constitute impeachment panel to probe the state governor, Mr Ayodele
Fayose.


In a statement personally signed by himself, Olugbemi said the House
of Assembly of which he is the speaker never sat on the Governor let
alone he writing the CJ to constitute impeachment panel.


The full text of the statement reads; “sequel to our previous
correspondence to the Chief judge of Ekiti state Judiciary dated 4th
of April, 2015, the clerk and I have again have cause to written to
the Chief Judge, yet another letter refuting the letter purportedly
emanating from the office of the speaker of the Ekiti State House of
Assembly mandating him (Chief Judge) to constitute an investigative
panel in relation to an impeachment notice which allegedly emanated
from my office (speaker)

“For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to categorically state here now
before you that the said letter directing the Chief Judge of Ekiti
state to constitute an investigative Panel did not emanate from the
Ekiti State House of Assembly.

“We never wrote any letter to the Chief Judge directing him to
constitute an investigative panel, neither was the House involved in
any impeachment proceedings against the executive governor of our
great state.”

“In further refutations of the ongoing brigandage, I wish to state
that the former speaker, Dr Adewale Omirin was duly removed as the
speaker of the Ekiti state house of Assembly on 20th day of November,
2014 and his removal paved the way for my legitimate  emergence as the
new speaker of the Ekiti state house of Assembly.

“In prove of my incumbency and control of the Assembly, I have here
present with me the clerk of the state house of Assembly without whom
no legitimate sitting of the house can take place, I also have here
present the Sergeant at Arm and the entire retinue of the staff of the
state house of Assembly and the maze of the House.”

“It is a common knowledge that all legitimate session of any house of
Assembly take place only inside the hallow chamber of the house of
Assembly. Indeed any other purported sitting of the house at any other
location outside the Hallow chamber of the house of Assembly is null
and void and of no effect whatsoever, this is more so when such
meeting purportedly took place without the principal officers here
present with me now”

The speaker said  further said; “Accordingly, I have advice the Chief
Judge to discountenance all letters, resolutions, proceedings or
processes emanating from Dr Adewale Omirin or any other person
impersonating my person or my office.”

He added that he had copied the Chief Justice of Nigeria, the
Director of the Department of State Services and the Commissioner of
Police so that they can jointly apprehend the impersonators.
