Falana: Why Fayose Cannot Seek Re-election - Politics - Ifeyinka

Wednesday, May 24, 2017

HUMAN rights lawyer , Mr. Femi Falana ( SAN) , has described as anomalous the likely bid by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State to seek re – election in 2018.

Fayose had said on Monday that he would contest the 2018 governorship election so that he could serve his first term which was truncated in 2006.

Fayose was impeached in 2006 , but the Supreme Court in 2014 nullified the impeachment that ousted him from the office about seven months to the end of his first term.

Speaking on a live broadcast on Ekiti State Television in Ado- Ekiti on Monday evening, Fayose said that since the apex court had said that his impeachment in 2006 was illegal, he would then have to approach the same court to interpret what that ruling meant and also consider seeking a re -election in 2018
