The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dele Olugbemi, has said Governor Ayo Fayose is not preventing Dr Adewale Omirin and other All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the Assembly from coming back to the state.
In a statement in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday by his Media Assistant, Mr Femi Iroko, he said if Omirin and others did not have any sinister motive, they were free to come back to Ekiti.
Olugbemi said this in a reaction to Omirin’s claims that he and his colleagues were being prevented from coming back to the state by the governor.
“It is not Governor Ayo Fayose that is preventing them from coming back to Ekiti. If he doesn’t have any sinister motive, he should be free to come back.
“When coming back, he should be ready to return as an ordinary member of the House, moreso that he has gone to the court to challenge my election as the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly.
“He should wait for the outcome of his court case to know what his fate is. I will welcome him just like any other member of the House elected by their constituencies.
“He should be ready to work together with us to move Ekiti forward and out of the monumental debt the former administration plunged it.
“Putting food on the tables of Ekiti people and putting smiles on their faces is more germaine to the Fayose administration. We must put the interest of Ekiti people above our own personal interests,” he said.
