The PDP warned further that the impeachment plot against Fayose is an attempt to derail Nigeria’s democracy.

The Peoples Democratic Party has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene in renewed plans by All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers in Ekiti State to impeach Governor Ayo Fayose.

The comments were made on Monday, June 1, 2015, by Acting PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus while addressing some members of the party in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

“We call on President Buhari to intervene. As a party, we will not sit down and watch democracy being derailed. We have been working on deepening democracy for the past 16 years. We must continue to deepen it and I call on you to continue to depend democracy,” Secondus said.

The APC lawmakers have been involved in a long-running battle with Fayose which was recently intensified by an argument over the payment of the legislators’ salary arrears.
