Ayo Fayose: Governor withdraws suit against APC Lawmakers

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday, April 29, 2015, withdrew the suit against the 19 All Progressives Congress, APC members of the state House of Assembly from impeaching him and his Deputy, Kolapo Olusola.

In the suit, the plaintiffs, including speaker of the House of As­sembly which is 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 im­peachment moves against the governor. The suit however had already been struck out by Justice Ahmed Mohammed
