Governor Ayodele Fayose has debunked a rumour that he had been advised by President Goodluck Jonathan to resign.
He also denied receiving impeachment notice from the 19 APC lawmakers who accused him of committing eight impeachable offences.
Fayose stated these on Monday during a media chat, Meet Your Governor, monitored in Ado Ekiti.
He boasted that nobody could remove him from office because he was holding a mandate given to him by the people of the state. He added that before anybody could remove him, such individual would have to remove God first and the people of Ekiti State.
Responding to questions from viewers on the blockage of roads leading to the Assembly complex , the governor said all the attacks on him were because of his support for President Goodluck Jonathan .
He said, “I don’t know of any invasion; I don’t know of any threat to the House of Assembly and I am not aware of any impeachment process. I am aware the House is on recess and Omirin is in court challenging his impeachment in Lagos and Abuja.”
“They claimed to have served me on Easter Day, can you imagine that? Who did they serve and who received it (the impeachment notice)?
“The enemies of Ekiti people are at work again. I left in 2006, eight years ago and God in his infinite mercy brought me back the same day and the same month that I was removed.
“They are waging war against my people, those who voted me in; nobody has served (impeachment notice). I read it on the Internet the same way you read it on the Internet.”
Fayose said he had no regret supporting and campaigning for Jonathan.
“Because Buhari won an election, they are waging war against me. When I won election, that was the same thing they did. They are not doing it for the love of Ekiti people but for their personal interest.
“Omirin wanted to become Acting Governor but the Bible says who art thou oh mountain before Zerubbabel, thou shall be removed. They employed every trick to frustrate my inauguration but they failed. I know hey will fail again.
“If you will remove me, you will have to remove God first who put me there. You can’t unseat God; nobody can unseat me. No matter their number, they can’t remove me.’’
