Fayose Withdraws Suit Against APC Lawmakers

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, yesterday
withdrew the suit seeking to stop the 19 All
Progressives Congress (APC) members of the
state House of House from impeaching him and
his Deputy, Kolapo Olusola.
In the suit, which was struck out by Justice
Ahmed Mohammed, the plaintiffs, including
speaker of the House of Assembly (described as
being occupied by the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) factional Speaker, Olugbemi Joseph Dele);
Ekiti State House of Assembly, Fayose and
Olusola through their counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN),
had approached the court seeking to stop im­
peachment moves against the governor.
When the matter was called for hearing
yesterday, counsel to the plaintiffs, Raji, informed
the court of his client’s intention to withdraw the
case.
The plaintiff’s counsel did not give reasons for the
withdrawal, but Daily Sun gathered it was to
allow them prosecute a fresh suit pending before
another court presided over by Justice Evoh
Chukwu.
