Dr Kayode Fayemi  ,Former Governor of Ekiti State and Minister of Mines and Steel Development, has urged an Ado-Ekiti High Court for an injunction to restrain the state government and the Judicial Commission of Enquiry set up by Governor Ayodele Fayose to probe his administration from going ahead with the probe.

The minister also alleged in the court papers made available to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Thursday that all the members of the panel are the governor's apologists, adding that there was no way the panel could be fair to him.

The minister, in the suit number HAD/57/2017, is asking the court to restrain the state governor, the state’s attorney-general and members of the judicial commission of enquiry from taking any step, following the pendency of two cases on the planned probe in courts of competent jurisdiction.

Others joined in the suit filed on behalf of the minister, Chief  Rafiu O. Balogun, are the Ekiti State House of Assembly and Speaker of the House of Assembly.

Fayose had on Monday last week constituted a judicial panel, led by a former acting Chief judge of the state, Justice Silas Oyewole, to probe Fayemi's  administration  between October 2010 to October 2014 over alleged financial misappropriation.

Fayemi  is also seeking a declaration that the motion and subsequent resolution of Ekiti State House of Assembly directing the governor (first defendant) to set up a judicial commission of enquiry to investigate or probe his administration were unlawful, illegal and ought to be declared null and void, in view of the fact the resolution was passed during the pendency of a case involving him and the Ekiti State House of Assembly and its speaker, which touched on the legality of the summons and powers of the Assembly to conduct any investigation or direct any other person or body to do so without strict compliance with the tenets of the 1999 constitution.

The minister further said that he was convinced that the chairman of the commission, the secretary and all other members of the commission are cronies and stooges of Fayose and have been appointed to act a script allegedly prepared by their appointing authority, as touted by Mr Lere Olayinka and Dr Samuel Omotosho before the constitution of the commission of enquiry.
