BEVERLY HILLS, May 22, (THEWILL) – The Minister of mines and steel development, Kayode Fayemi, has declared that the inauguration of a judicial commission to probe his administration in Ekiti state by the Governor, Ayodele Fayose, is an exercise in futility.
THEWILL reported that Fayose, on Monday, inaugurated a panel headed by a retired judge to probe Fayemi, his predecessor, giving the panel three months to submit its report.
Speaking through Yinka Oyebode, his media aide, Fayemi said the governor’s decision to go ahead with the inauguration of the panel while two cases arising from the planned probe were still pending in court is presumptuous and ill-advised and subjudice.
“It is obvious, Governor Fayose is desperate to probe the administration of his predecessor in office, Dr Kayode Fayemi, for personal vendetta,” the statement read.
“Yet, he is advised to be guided by the rule of law and decency in this wild goose chase.
“The governor and members of the panel are reminded that the two cases involving the house of assembly, its leadership and top officials of the present administration are still pending In an Abuja high court and a federal high court in Ado, thus making it an act of illegality for another panel to look into the matter.
“The governor is advised to concentrate on the serious task of governance and refrain from shadow chasing which the current pursuit of personal vendetta through a kangaroo committee clearly represents.”
