Governor Ayodele Fayose has been terrorizing the people of Ekiti State since assumption of office, the All Progressives Congress (APC) said on Tuesday.
In an open letter addressed to the Governor, dated November 18, 2014, through their lawyer, Dr. Tunji Abayomi, the State lawmakers described his short stay in power as a reign of the rule of terror and impunity.
They requested the governor to respect the doctrine of the Separation of Powers as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.
Particularly, they frowned at display and encouragement of brigandage and hooliganism.
“We are further told that you encourage brigandage and hooliganism everywhere, preferring government of the unruly and the violent.
“Further, you encourage your loyalists in the House to disrespect the House leadership, and its rules.
“You encourage minority members to sit regularly in total violation of the standing Order of the House and the Constitution and under he protection and your own controlled security and unconstitutional use of arms, worse than the history of the past in our land.
“We are again informed that you intend or have started to usurp House authority insisting that Separation of Power has no meaning in your administration.
“For example, you want to determine how and when the matters referred to the Ekiti State House of Assembly by your administration would be passed.
“Ekiti State House of Assembly has now reached a point where it is now afraid of the security of its members, the security authority and proceedings because you want the rule of force to prevail throughout the state.
“Under our Constitution, the Speaker is the presiding officer of the House of Assembly without allowance for anyone else, but you prefer to designate your devotee with disdain for Law.
“As an example, the embarrassing invasion of the hallowed chamber of the House by 7 minority PDP Legislators on November 17, 2014 under the protection of Arms to take unconstitutional decision confirm in our view that the rule of terror and impunity now prevails under your administration,” Abayomi stated.
