Ayodele Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, has faulted President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Ahmed Abubakar as the new director-general of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

Abubakar was appointed as a replacement for Ayo Oke, former head of the intelligence agency, who was sacked on 30 October 2017, following the controversies trailing $43.5m found in an apartment in Ikoyi, Lagos.

According to Fayose, the forefathers of Nigeria must be lamenting were they to see “what Buhari has turned the country into”.

Fayose, in a statement by Lere Olayinka, his spokesman, said while Lawal was replaced by Boss Mustapha, from Lawal’s Adamawa hometown, Buhari failed to pick Oke’s replacement from his state.

He described Abubakar’s appointment as evidence that Buhari is an “unrepentant sectional leader, who does not care about the feelings of people from other parts of the country”.

“Seeing what President Buhari has turned the country to, the forefathers of Nigeria, who laid the foundation of the country on equity, justice and fairness will be lamenting wherever they are now,” Fayose said.

“President Buhari has consistently demonstrated that he is an ethnic champion, a religious bigot and the number one promoter of disunity in Nigeria. This he has done again with the appointment of yet another northerner as the NIA director-general.

“Ambassador Ayo Oke was removed from office the same day Babachir Lawal was removed as secretary to the government of the federation.

“While Lawal’s replacement came from his home state, Oke’s replacement came from the north. That is unacceptable.”

Fayose asked if there was no one from the south qualified to head the agency.

He added that given Abubakar’s appointment, “all” of the country’s security chiefs are northerners.

“With the appointment of Ahmed Rufai Abubakar as the NIA Director General, all heads of security agencies are now northerners and the question is, is this what those who enshrined federal character in our constitution envisaged?” Fayose asked.

“The implication of what the president has done is that, when security council meeting is held today, apart from one or two insignificant people, those in the meeting will be people from one section of the country.

“Even para-military agencies are headed by people from President Buhari’s section of the country. This is unfair.

“Those who argued then that the president made the appointments on merit should come to the open to tell Nigerians, especially those from the south that there is no one that merited appointment as Director General of NIA.”

I support Fayose in this one. Zombii's are free to hug transformer,oh they are planning to do so very soon,i'm feeling their painment from below.

When was Babachair appointed and how long has Oke been DG for NIA?
Fayose ranting and emotional blackmail has no meaning. But trust the Pigs to take it up from there.

Ayo Oke is the former director general of Nigeria's National Intelligence Agency (NIA), appointed by then president Goodluck Jonathan on 7th November 2013. Ayo Oke succeeded Ezekiel Olaniyi Oladeji as director general of Nigeria's National Intelligence Agency in November 2013.

Buhari case should not be revisited he a falure.

He wants people that will be contributing our money to his family. How do you think his unemployed son was able to buy two power bike that cost $157000 each?
His boys are looting from us and greasing his palms with it which is why even when they are caught nothing happens to them.

Fayose belongs to idiotic pigs of Biafra.
Only idiotic pigs of Biafra take him serious

You're beginning to copy Sar.rki. You've got to be open minded to criticise politicians no matter how much you support them. I know you're on Twitter - you see how Buhari's ardent supporters like Ogundamisi, Omojuwa, etc, never cease to register their displeasure when he goofs and when there's a reason to defend him a day after, they do it. This life is simple.

Fayose is your master and can only preside upon the land of Biafra, where fraudsters dwell and cocaine pushers reign. Where baby are sold like bend down select clothes and entire square miles dedicated to gory murder of human beings for wealth. yes we always trust the worst of humanity to support their fellow worstlings. See how your thinking can be reproduced to suit you

Unrepentant ethnic champion you claim you fool but the Chairman Joint chief of Staff is from your Ekiti state. Bloody hypocrite!
