The face -off between the 19 All
Progressives
Congress (APC) lawmakers in Ekiti State
House of
Assembly and Governor Ayo Fayose may
soon be
over, as the governor says he is willing to
negotiate with the lawmakers
The lawmakers are pushing for the
impeachment
of the governor, as they have directed the
state
Chief Judge, Justice Ayodeji Daramola, to
constitute a panel to investigate allegations
of
gross misconduct levelled against him and
his
deputy, Dr. Kolapo Olusola
Speaking on Friday during a thanksgiving
service
at Ansar ud Deen Mosque, Ado Ekiti on his
victory
at the Supreme Court, which affirmed his
election,
Fayose said he was ready to sit with the
lawmakers and negotiate.
This statement was not without a caveat as
the
governor clarified that he was ready to
make
peace with the lawmakers as long as they
were
ready to embrace the move in the over all
interest
of the state.
“I am not opposed to anything that can
bring
peace; peace cannot be wished away. I’m
ready
to accommodate everybody. Whatever
they want,
we can sit down and talk”, the governor
stated.
“There is no perfect man. They should
allow
peace to reign. All I want is peace that will
energise development”.
He said he was waving the olive branch in
the
overall interest of Ekiti people as well as
restoration of peace.
Fayose said he had received calls and
appeals for
amicable solution to the lingering crisis by
eminent Nigerians, religious leaders as well
as
traditional rulers.
The governor apologized to those he might
have offended one way or the other, in the
course of carrying out his duties as
governor
saying only God was perfect.
