Buhari Planning To Run Down My Government – Fayose by suasmablow(m): 6:20pm On Mar 06, 2016
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State in the
western part of Nigeria has accused President
Muhammadu Buhari of plotting to run down his
government in the state.
Fayose is a governor under the opposition Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, and has remained a
staunch critic of the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, and the president.
The governor, popularly thought to be
controversial, warned on Sunday that his
government and state would not be intimidated by
the president.
He accused the president of sending officials of the
Department of State Service, DSS, to distabilise his
government.
DSS operatives had reportedly stormed the state
on Saturday and reportedly arrested four of the
House of Assembly members. No reason has been
given for the action.
In reaction, Fayose declared that even if his State
was invaded by one million armed men of the DSS
on the order of President Buhari, the government
and the people of the state would never be
intimidated to surrender governance of the state
to “political desperadoes, whose four
years reign destroyed the economy of the state.”
The governor, who said the DSS under President
Buhari was operating beyond its constitutional
mandate, added that “the government of Ekiti State
may have to reconsider the usefulness of men of
the DSS in the government house and other
institutions of the state government.”
In the reaction released on his behalf by his media
aide, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said the APC-
led Federal Government was pursuing a
clandestine agenda of truncating democracy in
Ekiti State and other PDP-controlled states like
Rivers and Bayelsa.
“If Buhari likes, let him relocate all DSS men in
Nigeria with the entire ammunition in their
armoury to Ekiti, the will of Ekiti people can never
be broken. They will only try, and like they have
always done, they will fail because dictatorship has
never triumphed over the people.
“Even Buhari’s dictatorship between 1984 and 1985
ended one day and Nigerians will also outlive his
present dictatorship,” he said.
The governor said the DSS under Buhari’s kinsman,
Lawal Daura, has abandoned its core mandate of
providing intelligence for the protection of the
internal security of Nigeria as provided in the
Security Agencies Act Cap. N74 LFN, 2004.
“Instead of assisting the police, military and other
security agencies with classified matters, we now
have a DSS that is running after perceived
opponents of the president, arresting goat and
fowl thieves as well as husbands who assaulted
their wives.
“If the DSS was alive to its responsibilities, we
won’t be having Boko Haram insurgents killing
Nigerians, all these kidnappings and Fulani
Herdsmen killings, raping and destroying
farmlands in the South-West, South-East and
North-Central zones in the country would have
been nipped in the bud,” Fayose said.
He said the same way President Buhari used the
National Security Organisation, NSO, headed by
Ambassador Mohammed Lawal Rafindadi from
Katsina State is the same way the President is
using the DSS, headed by another of his kinsman
to harass, oppress and intimidate Nigerians.
“It is obvious that democracy in Nigeria is
becoming unsafe in the hands of Buhari and his
APC and those keeping silent now because of
politics may also end up in the belly of this roaring
lion that is threatening to consume our
democracy.
“Therefore, Nigerians and the international
community should take special notice of the use of
the DSS and Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission, EFCC, to muzzle opposition.
“As for me, I wish to say once again that I am not
among those Nigerians that are afraid of
harassment by any agency of the Federal
Government.
“I make bold to state that in the overall interest of
democracy and well-being of Nigerians, I will
continue to speak my mind on issues bordering on
governance in Nigeria. I will not be intimidated!”
The governor said.

This man is showing early signs of dementia honestly. He's tried all he could to get the president to at least mention his name once but all the president has been doing is to totally ignore him.

He craves a reaction so he could run to the center of Ado Ekiti with a bull-horn shouting the president is after his life. Too bad he'd get none of that.

Now, he's beginning to be frightful of his own shadow, seeing Buhari in his dreams and right in front of him when he's awake- if this hallucination isn't the onset of dementia then I don't know what it is.
