Former Special Adviser on Political Matters to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Babafemi Ojudu, has disclosed how he plotted the impeachment of former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose.

Ojudu disclosed that he plotted and scripted Fayose’s impeachment with the of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The former presidential aide disclosed this while featuring on Edmund Obilo’s podcast, State Affairs, which was published on Thursday morning.

According to Ojudu: “I plotted and scripted the impeachment of Fayose in Ekiti. I used Obasanjo and when he realized it, he fought back against me.

“I had an agreement (with Obasanjo) and signed that Fayose should be impeached but make sure his deputy is not. I took all the lawmakers to Lagos where I kept them in hotels and was feeding and taking them around.


“I was not a senator, I was a journalist who had money and my friends gave me money. They were not happy with him, I saw that weak link and I exploited it.

“Obasanjo was angry and gave the deputy governor soldiers to return to Ekiti and proclaim herself as governor. When she got there, I called people to resist her and they had no alternative but to declare an emergency.


“Fayose sued me for libel and Falana was my lawyer, I went to court and presented my facts, by the time we finished, Justice Daramola told Fayose ‘you have no honour and integrity.'”

Fayose became the second governor of Ekiti on 29 May 2003, after defeating the incumbent Governor, Niyi Adebayo in the gubernatorial elections.

His tenure was cut short as a result of the impeachment on 16 October, 2006.

it is jjcs that think a useless Arrow like fayose is to be celebrated

in his first term he was threatening to burn down banks

matters came to a hea when obj came to ekiti to see fayoses purported ekiti chicken farm

fayose tried to scam obj with a farm with imported chickens, but unfortunately for him, OBJ IS a farmer and immediately noticed that there was no smell of chicken shit in this fully operational farm

people keep trying to rehabilitate GEJ as some sort of statesmen - but it is gej that brought this useless noisemaker out of hiding because he thought the man could somehow influence elections in the SW. same way he brought al-mustapha out of detention.

Frankly, I think it helps to have contributions like this warts et al.
Let's hear the good, the bad, and the ugly about our nation's political evolution.
Let the noble, the ignoble, and the bone-idle all have their say.

What atrocities? Removing a thieving governor? How is that an attrocity?...you prefer this istration where everything goes...northern governors threatening a sitting president because of tax reforms, Yahaya Bello waking free, despite evidence of humongous stealing? Every body acting with impunity as if the nation is on auto pilot.

Baba was a soldier, Nigeria needed a strong leader, Baba delivered just that...the economy grew, the world respected Nigeria....no sacred cows, no impunity...every body sat up.
