Factional members of the crisis-ridden Kogi State House of Assembly, known as “G15 members” yesterday accused Governor Yahaya Bello of fuelling the crisis rocking the Assembly.

But the executive arms said reacting to the accusation of the group would amount to elevating its status, saying its earlier position of not having hand in the Assembly remained sacrosanct.

The group dismissed insinuations that the Deputy Governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, in the last November Kogi Governorship election, James Faleke, was its sponsor.

Speaking with newsmen at the house of the embattled Speaker, MomohJimoh Lawal said they were not going to relent in their battle as doing so amounted to surrendering to alleged Governor’s impunity.

Spokesperson of the group, Kolawole Matthew (Majority Leader, said, “As G15 who are opposed to the purported impeachment of Speaker- MomohJimoh Lawal by G5, what we collectively resolved to fight is the height of impunity in the process and the dangerous legacy it may bring where five members as against the 15 members under the dictate and protection of the executive, will announce the impeachment of the Speaker.

”Where a quorum is not formed and five members will claim to have sat; where members have to subject themselves to the direct dictates and command of the executive of what to do; where signatures of 10 members of the House will be forged in broad day light in a bid to forcefully impeach the Speaker; where oath of office of a Speaker will be taken in the office of the Deputy Governor; where the House will no longer serve as check on the excesses of the executive; where the House will be puppet and stooge under the armpits of the executive and where there will be executive actions without reference to guiding principles of the law.”

The group also berated the other faction (G5) for ignoring the House of Representative resolution on state Assembly and rather declared that “peace has returned to the House.”
