EKITI DSS INVASION

The DSS operatives had reportedly invaded the State House of
Assembly complex in Ado Ekiti, whisking away four of the 26 members
to its Abuja office.
The lawmakers accused the DSS of acting on the orders from above.
However, briefing newsmen at the National Assembly complex, the
Chairman, Ekiti House Committee on Information, Honorable Gboyega
Aribisogan, said the call for the President to direct the release of the
detained legislators has become imperative because the DSS would
not embark on such action without presidential approval.
Aribisogan said: “Like we have maintained, plotters of evil against the
government of Ayodele Fayose and by extension the people of Ekiti
State will not get our support.
“We, members of the State House of Assembly are prepared to spend
the rest of our tenure in DSS cell, instead of plotting against our
leader and mentor, Governor Ayodele Fayose.”
Speaking further, he said: “Gone are those days in Nigeria when
impeachment notices against governors were signed on the table of
the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) and this time around, if the DSS is programmed to play the
role played by the EFCC under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, it
will fail”.
“Also, if this harassment and intimidation is about 2018, we wish to
state unequivocally that we in the PDP are fully on ground in Ekiti.
We are not playing diaspora politics as being done by the APC and
Nigerians should be rest assured that the APC will be defeated once
again.
“We won’t be intimidated by any agency of the Federal Government,
the DSS inclusive.
“We have also been told that some of us have been slated for arrest
and detention and it is on this note that we have come to inquire from
the DSS those of us they still want to arrest so that we can turn
ourselves in without giving them the stress of coming down to Ekiti.
“The DSS can also go ahead and publish the names of our members
that they want to arrest so that we will know who among us to bring
to Abuja.
“Alternatively, the DSS can keep the entire 26 members of the Ekiti
State House of Assembly in their custody for as long as they desire so
that it will be easy for them to call anyone of us for questioning at
any time of the day,” he stated.
