Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, yesterday withdrew the suit seeking to stop the 19 All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the state House of House from impeaching him and his Deputy, Kolapo Olusola.
In the suit, which was struck out by Justice Ahmed Mohammed, the plaintiffs, including speaker of the House of Assembly (described as being occupied by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) factional Speaker, Olugbemi Joseph Dele); Ekiti State House of Assembly, Fayose and Olusola through their counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), had approached the court seeking to stop impeachment moves against the governor.
When the matter was called for hearing yesterday, counsel to the plaintiffs, Raji, informed the court of his client’s intention to withdraw the case.
The plaintiff’s counsel did not give reasons for the withdrawal, but Daily Sun gathered it was to allow them prosecute a fresh suit pending before another court presided over by Justice Evoh Chukwu.
