| DSS Has Hijacked Election Tribunals, Says PDP by Nobody: 8:40am On Oct 11, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party has accused the Department
of State Services (DSS) of trying to influence the outcome
of the governorship election petitions in some states.
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Saturday, Olisa
Metuh, national publicity secretary of the party, said he had
evidence to substantiate the claim.
Metuh called on Mahumud Mohammed, the chief justice of
Nigeria, to prevail the independence of the judiciary upon
judges of the tribunal.
“We have it on good authority that the DSS has interfered by
summoning the tribunal members in some PDP controlled
states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Abia,” he said.
“The effort by the DSS to interfere in tribunal judgment is
unknown to security services anywhere in the world. We
want to inform Justice Mahmud Mohammed, the chief
Justice of Nigeria, about what is happening.
“Yesterday, one of the ministerial nominees insisted that the
DSS should summon the tribunal judges to influence the
judgement of his state. If this is allowed to continue, it will
be difficult for Nigerians to have confidence in the
judiciary.”
This is not the first time that Metuh will make such
allegation.
In July, he accused Lawal Daura, director-general of the
service, of scheming to “enthrone draconian regime” by
influencing election matters in favour of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
“PDP decries attempts to enthrone draconian regime where
security forces and other apparatus of the ruling party will
decide to be influencing election matters and outcome on
behalf of the ruling party,” he had said.
“In that regard, the national working committee has been
made aware that the new director-general of DSS has even
invited some people in relation to Rivers tribunal and other
states in trying to discuss such matters with tribunal
members.
“The PDP alerts the national and international community
that this is a gross interference with democratic affairs and
that it can lead to authoritarian regime.” https://www.thecable.ng/dss-hijacked-election-tribunals-says-pdp lalasticlala |

Truth be told, the Daura secret service has neglected its constitutional duties of Information gathering and protection of civilians ....... And have now made themselves willing tools in the hands of the Rulling party to be used as errand boys and Thugs...... ... When bomb blasts now occur a few kilometres from the seat of power, you would expect the DSS to swing into action and help uncover and dismantle the terrorist cell operating within Nyanya and its environs........ ... But alas no, they would rather prefer breaking into Govt houses and Storming Tribunals to disrupt procedings at the command from above.. .... My people My people, we are not even back to the Status Quo..... We have regressed back to the dictatorial era. THERE IS NO CHANGE May God help us. |
