The former speaker of the Ekiti state House of Assembly has accused Tope Aluko, of masterminding attempts to impeach Ayodele Fayose as governor of the state.
Dele Olugbemi the former factional Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly has accused former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Secretary, Dr. Tope Aluko, of masterminding the attempts by the 19 former All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers to remove the state governor, Ayodele Fayose.
He insisted that Aluko was at a reconciliation meeting with Fayose in a Lagos hotel, which was he facilitated.

Olugbemi, in an interview on Saturday on EKITI 91.5 FM, alleged that the Aluko had been on the payroll of the All Progressive Congress (APC) for more than one year and was working to destabilise PDP.
The former speaker, who is now a commissioner in the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), claimed that Aluko took him to Lagos and Osun states during his tenure in the Assembly to lure him into an impeachment plot against Fayose.
He said: “When I was the Speaker, Aluko was the PDP secretary. I have never seen a traitor like him in my life. He was the one who initiated and facilitated an arrangement with the APC towards using the House to impeach Fayose. He took me to Osun and Lagos for the arrangement.
I refused to do this and that strained our relationship. But we resumed our relationship shortly after the end of my tenure as speaker.
“When I discovered that he was always scheming against the governor and conniving with enemies to impeach him after about one and half year into this government, I decided to call him and advise him. I told him that in politics there cannot be permanent enemies but permanent interests. I told him joining another party would not help, that as for me, I prefer to stay in PDP.
“I am so surprised that he could denounce and rubbish a peace meeting I brokered between him and the governor. The CCTV camera has the details of all that we discussed with the governor inside the Eko Hotel.

Aluko remains our lost sheep. We will welcome him home anytime. He has worked for our party and deserves his reward but he has to stop this bad attitude of his and show genuine repentance. Fayose is the father of all of us and he has a large heart to accommodate all,” he further said.
In another development, the Ekiti state government has said that it will not reply to claims by Tope Aluko, that he was forced into reconciling with Fayose.
This was contained in a statement issued by Lere Olayinka, the special assistant to the Ekiti state governor on public communication and new media on Wednesday, April 6. Olayinka accused Aluko of being “a perjurer and an unstable character, who speaks from both sides of his mouth.”
