President Muhammadu Buhari will not reverse the sack of Lawal Daura, former Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Jiti Ogunye, constitutional lawyer and public analyst, has said.

Following the unauthorised invasion of the National Assembly, by masked DSS operatives, Daura was relieved of his job by Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo who was in charge during President Buhari’s 10 day vacation in the UK.

However, speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Ogunye who said he believed Osinbajo has the blessing of his principal before carrying out the action, argued that reversing the sack of Daura will have lots of implications for the unity of the country especially giving the fact that a replacement in the person of Matthew Seiyefa who is from another geo-political zone of the country has been announced.

” I don’ t think the President Buhari will want to reverse the decision. Even if the president were to wish to do that, being a wise president, he will not do that in this circumstances because Nigeria also has its geo-politics.

“Many decisions were taken by the Vice- President in your absence, so why will the President upon his return now reverse that particular one? Moreso, when the most senior officer at the DSS as at that time who had taken over from Daura is from another geo- political zone of the country.

” So, it is not something that the president will want to do because it has a lot of implication for the unity of the country, inter-ethnic solidarity, for cohesion in his government and for national survival.

“So i think that decision must have earned the blessing of the president. In any case, it’s a great decision. The appointment of DSS DG is as important as appointment of Ministers

” So, it’s like the Acting President removing Ministers in the absence of the president. So, if they weren’t on the same page, i doubt of Osinbajo could have taken that decision regardless of the President,” he said.

He no dey obey the rule of law,so he can

, Acting President can act unilaterally, if they are in doubt they should ask obasanjo how atiku used his powers to corner some juice while obasanjo was globe throttling. this was why yaradua never for once handed over to Jonathief, when minister of health sacked NHIS boss, under acting president osibanjo. and president buhari came back and reinstated him, was buhari and osibanjo also on the same page? Or when kemi adeosun sacked the SEC boss Abdul Zubair also under acting president osibanjo for mendling in the affairs of tinubus Oando.
