Ekiti State is going south, I just hope those concerned are watching. The Judge handling the case filed against the Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has withdrawn from the suit. The case, filed before Fayose was sworn-in as governor, is to challenge his eligibility for the governorship election.

Justice Olusegun Ogunyemi, who was handling the case, has withdrawn from it, citing threats to his life.

According to Premium Times, Justice Ogunyemi has handed over the case file to the Chief Judge of Ekiti State, Ayodeji Daramola. And following Ogunyemi’s withdrawal, judges in Ekiti have been reluctant to take over the case.
