Ekiti: Fayose seals off Speaker’s office, withdraws drivers......... The simmering crisis in Ekiti State deepened yesterday evening as Governor Ayodele Fayose ordered the sealing off of the office of the Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Dr Adewale Omirin. A statement by the speaker’s Special Adviser on Media, Wole Olujobi, said the governor had earlier employed threats and coercion, including freezing the accounts of the Assembly, cutting off of electricity supply from the Speaker’s Lodge and stopping statutory votes for the Speaker’s upkeep and protocol to intimidate him and take firm control of the House”. Yesterday, the governor announced the sack of the Speaker’s aides, including that of the Deputy Speaker and Majority Leader. “It is believed that the Speaker’s vehicles have been demobilised because their keys have been taken to the office of the governor”, the statement added.
