The 19 APC lawmakers in Ekiti have said State Governor Ayodele Fayose will still be impeached if he continues with being clever by half.

The lawmakers shunned a peace meeting convened by Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) to reconcile them with Fayose and suggested that Fayose was planning to attack and get them arrested if they showed up at the peace meeting.

In a statement through Speaker Adewale Omirin’s Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, the lawmakers have said they’ll only attend a peace meeting whose venue is outside Ekiti; with Ibadan where Babalola hails from as a first choice.

“We cannot hold any meeting on the basis of monetary settlement in isolation of the consideration of the constitutional breaches by the Governor. It is amazing that the truce terms will not include resumption of our duties, but just to settle us monetarily and escorting us out of Ekiti State,” the statement from the lawmakers read.

Even though Babalola has assured the lawmakers that they are guaranteed protection from police during the peace meeting, the legislators aren’t buying it.

“What is this all about if not coded incitement for mob attacks?” the lawmakers queried.

But Fayose said he doesn’t plan to arrest anyone and added that he’ll do everything within the law for peace to return to Ekiti State.

“Within the ambit of the laws, I will respect the views of all of them. If there is anybody who should be evasive, it should be me because their time has almost expired. The guilty are afraid.

“They said I sent police to arrest them, where will I keep them after arresting them? We should stop playing to the gallery in a matter like this. I’m ready to shift ground. I’m ready to ensure they depart and finish their tenure successfully and whatever is due to them, I’m ready to pay. That is not an act of cowardice.

“I’m prepared to make peace and work in the overall interest of the state. I’m ready to submit myself to this meeting as many times as possible,”, Fayose said.
