Fayose moves for peace, withdraws lawsuit against APC lawmakers

Very recently, Ayo Fayose says he is ready for peace in his state, and this latest move may be testament to that… or not.

The Ekiti State Governor has withdrawn the lawsuit to stop the moves by the 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers in the state House of Assembly to remove him from and his deputy, Kolapo Olusola, from office.

Justice Mohammed struck out the suit filed by Fayose and three others after their counsel, Adeola Adedipe, informed the court that he had filed a notice of discontinuance of the suit on behalf of his clients.

Adedipe appeared in court on Wednesday, April 29 to apply for the discontinuation of the case.

Adedipe told Justice Mohammed, “On behalf of the plaintiffs, we want to inform the noble court that pursuant to Order 2 Rule 2(1) of the rules of this court, we filed a notice of discontinuance on April 24, 2015 and we urge the court to strike out this suit in its entirety.”
