Immediate past Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has denied any involvement in the impeachment threat to the Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr Gboyega Aribisogan, who accused him of working with members of the state legislature to oust him.

The ex-governor said in a statement: “We note the allegation by the former Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr. Gboyega Aribisogan, that his impeachment was masterminded by Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the immediate past Governor of the State”.

In the statement signed by Ahmad Sajoh, Fayemi Media Office Abuja on Monday, Fayemi stated further: “We wish to clarify that Dr. Fayemi had nothing to do with the removal of the former Speaker by his peers as this was the internal arrangement of the State House of Assembly.

“We wish to note that even as Governor, Dr. Fayemi did not interfere with the independence of the House and respected the principle of separation of powers where the House had

freedom to decide on their internal affairs”.
