Ekiti State lawmakers elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress are alleged to have met again on Friday in Akure, the Ondo State capital, in furtherance of their move to impeach the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
The lawmakers were alleged to have met at a hotel in Akure on how to frustrate the government of Fayose through the House of Assembly.
The Ekiti Movement for Good Governance made the allegations in a statement by its Secretary, Dr. Abiodun Aina.
The group said Ekiti State people will resist any attempt to prevent Fayose from governing the state for the four years he was elected to govern.
Dr. Aina, who said owner of the hotel where the clandestine meeting was held last night confirmed that the APC lawmakers slept in the hotel and left early on Saturday, added that the lawmakers ran to Akure to hold the meeting because they knew that they were working against Ekiti State people.
The EMGG said a leader of the APC, who came from Lagos, was reported to have assured the lawmakers of enough fund to prosecute the agenda, tagged: “Operation Blockade.”
The statement by Aina added: “Apart from using the House of Assembly to frustrate Fayose’s Government, part of the agenda of the Operation Blockade was to step up criminal activities like armed robbery and kidnapping in the state.”
The lawmakers were alleged to have met last week in Lagos at the home of the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to plot the impeachment of Fayose.
A former Governor of the state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, was alleged to have attended the meeting.
The lawmakers were alleged to have been given N50 million each to see the plan through, while the Speaker, Dr. Adewale Omirin, got N100 million.
