Fayose harbours thugs who robs and kidnap at night-APC

The Ekiti State chapter of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, has reacted to newspapers advertorials by the
state governor, Ayodele Fayose, accusing President
Muhammadu Buhari of being a dictator by allegedly
sending Department of State Services operatives to
invade the Akwa Ibom Government House, Uyo.
The party insisted that the operatives had not
violated the nation’s law by moving against illegal
arms dump, large enough to illegally topple a
democratically elected government.
The party, in a statement signed by its Publicity
Secretary, Taiwo Olatunbosun, on Sunday, said the
DSS operatives acted in the nation’s interest to
check what would have been a threat to national
stability and reversal of fortunes for the nation’s
economy.
“Let us educate Fayose that a Government House is
not the same as foreign embassies or missions that
enjoy physical immunity from security activities by
local armed forces.
“While a governor enjoys immunity from physical
and body security search, the same cannot be said
of the Government House because no law in the
nation’s constitution says the Government House
should be a breeding ground for insurrection and
insurgency where state enemies can assemble
arms to topple a legitimate government and we
suspect Fayose as an accomplice in the arms
stockpiling saga in the Akwa Ibom Government
House, otherwise there is no reason for him to be
edgy and agitated in his response,” Olatunbosun
explained.
The party condemned Fayose for trying to whip
public sentiment against DSS operatives for
performing their legitimate duty to secure the
country, adding that no amount of blackmail would
stop security agents from performing their legal
duties against violent and corrupt governors.
Olatubosun added: “We know why Fayose is
blackmailing DSS in this matter. Ekiti Government
House is home to thugs and criminal elements
armed to the teeth that the governor has been using
against the opposition.
“They were used on massive scale during the last
elections to attack the opponents. As we speak,
they are still lodged in the Government House
where they take off at nights to rob and kidnap
innocent Ekiti people.
“We never had this kind of experience for four years
of Governor Kayode Fayemi until Fayose started his
campaign with importation of criminals that have
been stalking the state residents.
“We call on DSS to be alert to its responsibilities of
maintaining internal cohesion and security integrity
across the country and should comb everywhere,
including the Aso Rock if need be, to ensure that no
man in authority constitutes himself as a security
risk to the nation’s unity.”
The statement further warned the people of Ekiti
State to be wary of Fayose’s inciting statements
meant to set them against the Federal Government.
