Don’t suppress rule of law – INEC charges Ekiti lawmakers-elect
The electoral commission said the essence of the legislature is to strengthen constitutionality and the rule of law by making laws for the good governance, and urged the incoming legislators not to derail from this norm.
The event was attended by the Police Commissioner, Mr Asuquo Amba and other security chiefs in the state, APC chieftains, traditional rulers and elder statesmen.Addressing the elected officials, Omoleke said: “Legislature is a critical arm of government, because it makes laws to regulate the business of governance, so don’t do anything that will be repugnant to democracy, equity and justice.
“We are not also unmindful of the doctrine of separation of powers. But you must cooperate with the executive to make Ekiti greater than it is,” he advised.
