Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has accused the Federal Government of planning to use the Department of State Services (DSS) to invade the state Government House in Ado Ekiti, in a scenario similar to what happened recently in Akwa Ibom State.
Fayose in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday gave his own assessment of 100 days of President Muhammadu Buhari and returned a damning verdict, saying the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government could only boast of “imaginary achievements.”
According to him, the only achievement recorded by the Buhari administration is “the harassment of leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and those perceived as not on the same political page with the President in his party.”
He described the DSS swoop on the Akwa Ibom Government House as the “sore point of Buhari’s 100 days in office, “criticizing the federal government for allegedly authorizing the invasion of the facility.
The Ekiti governor accused the Director General of the DSS, Lawal Daura, of being an APC member, while he also described the appointment of Col. Hameed Ali (rtd) as the Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the retention of Amina Zakari as the Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as “illegal and unconstitutional.”
Fayose lambasted the President for carrying out what he called “lopsided and illegal appointments” by allegedly shutting out the Southeast geopolitical zone in the major appointments announced so far.
He described the non-appointment of Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu as Secretary to the Government of the Federation as “unacceptable.”
