Fayose seeks to complete aborted 2006 tenure
Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State said on Monday said that he would contest in court his removal from office during his first term tenure...
He said since the Supreme Court had ruled that his impeachment was illegal, null and void, he reserved the constitutional right to contest the removal.
According to him, since his tenure had been adjudged by the Supreme Court to have been illegally truncated, he had no option than to approach the same court to seek interpretation of the judgement.
The governor said the pertinent question to ask the court was whether by virtue of an earlier judgement in his favour dismissing his removal, he had no right to seek to complete his remaining tenure of seven months.
He emphasised that the case as to whether he was entitled to complete his tenure or not must first be determined before there could be another governorship election in the state in 2018.
