I’ve forgiven you for attempting to impeach me – Fayose tells outgoing APC lawmakers

Governor Ayodele Fayose on Thursday bade farewell to the outgoing
members of the House of Assembly.
The Assembly’s tenure will expire on Friday.
The governor also stated that he had forgiven them for attempting to
impeach him.
Fayose made this known in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Idowu Adelusi.
Ekiti State had been under siege for the past three days as thugs said to be
loyal to Fayose blocked all roads leading to the Assembly complex to
prevent the 19 All Progressives Congress, APC, lawmakers from sitting with
the aim of impeaching him.
Fayose said, “The last few months have been traumatic, especially this
week. I was not given room for concentration, but I had left the battle for
God to fight. I told those planning to impeach me that they will succeed if
they can impeach God.
“I did not bring myself
back to power; my
coming back after
eight years was
divine. I defeated the
APC totally in all the
elections, still they did
not want to concede
victory easily until
when the Ekiti people
rose to defend that
June 21 mandate.
“I will now squarely
face the business of
governance.”
Fayose also praised the people of the state for preventing the lawmakers
from gaining access to the complex and urged them to meet him at Ijigbo
junction on Friday for a ‘victory walk’ to the complex.
“The governor called on the people to gather at Ijigbo junction tomorrow
( Friday) from where he would lead them on victory walk to the state House
of Assembly for the inauguration of the new House of Assembly members,”
the statement added.
The new members are all of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
