Ekiti 19 Lawmakers Should Return Home and Do Their Work

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has asked the 19 APC lawmakers in the state to return home and commence sitting, saying the end of impunity has come with the victory of Muhammadu Buhari.

“Buhari’s victory marks the beginning of sanity in the polity wracked by lawlessness, corruption and impunity. All democratic institutions will operate unfettered within the ambit of the law.

“On this note, we urge our 19 members in the House of Assembly to return to work immediately and take control of the affairs because a new era of law and order has returned,”
the Ekiti APC said on Tuesday in a statement by its publicity secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun.
The party congratulated Nigerians for their peaceful conduct in the Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly elections that returned Buhari as the winner and told the residents of the state to defy the curfew imposed on the state by Governor Ayo Fayose.

It commended its members and supporters for recording remarkable votes despite provocations, inducements, harassments and infractions on their rights by the state government.

The APC described the curfew as “sheer wickedness on the part of Governor Fayose to want to prevent” the people from celebrating and described the curfew as irresponsible.

The party urged the police not to allow them to be used as “anti-democratic agents to unleash terror on Ekiti people and APC members.”
