Outgoing President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has told the embattled Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
state to resign now or face the inevitable option of impeachment by the 19 lawmakers of the All
state to resign now or face the inevitable option of impeachment by the 19 lawmakers of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Jonathan was said to have told Fayose that the time of impunity in Nigeria is over and that he (Jonathan) is committed to the rule of law. “As you can see, I am already packing my personal belongings out of the Villa, back to my Village, I cannot influence any process, we must allow the law to run its full course, we cannot continue to disrupt due process, that is not good for the country.”

According to a source, Fayose (and the Ondo state Governor, Olusegun MImiko) were deliberately absent at the post election meeting held with
Jonathan in Aso Rock because of the dismal performance of the PDP in the South West despite the last-minute huge investment and the promises
that the zone will be delivered to the party.

governor, a copy of the notice was also sent to his deputy, Dr. Olusola Eleka.
But Fayose in his characteristic manner said the APC lawmakers should stop acting like “jesters”, describing the purported impeachment notice as the “joke of the century.”

In the letter by the 19 lawmakers titled, “Re: Notice of Allegations of Gross Misconduct,” sent to Fayose,
the APC lawmakers listed eight impeachable offences against the governor. These offences bordered on impunity, brigandage, stalking and
other constitutional breaches.
