Ekiti State
Governor Ayo Fayose has accused some people in the All Progressives
Congress-led Federal Government of conniving with the Department of State
Service
(DSS) to
implicate him in treasonable offence, with a view to arresting him and some top
functionaries of the state government.
His Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, who made this
known in a statement in Ado-Ekiti, yesterday, alleged that some people were
already slated to be arrested by the DSS, after which it would claim that
subversive materials were found on them and that the arrested miscreants
confessed Fayose was sponsoring them.
The
statement read; “Few hours ago, credible information was received as to the new
plot by the APC-led Federal Government to rope Fayose into treasonable offence.
“This plot
is being hatched with the active connivance of some top functionaries of the
DSS.
“Some
miscreants are already slated to be arrested by the DSS, after which the DSS
will claim that subversive materials were ‘found’ on them and that the arrested
miscreants confessed that they were being sponsored by Fayose to promote
insurgency in the country, with the ultimate aim of toppling the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
“The DSS
will then move in, claiming to be acting on the confession of the arrested’
miscreants and attempt to arrest Fayose and some top functionaries of the Ekiti
State government.
“Arrest of
Fayose will be premised on claim that the immunity being enjoyed by the
governor does not cover treasonable offences.
“Nigerians
should recall that Fayose made it known last week that he was aware of the
various attempts on his life, just because he chose to expose to Nigerians, the
state of health of Buhari.’
He added:
“Let it be said to those behind this new sinister plot that, like their
previous evil plots, this one too will fail, because Fayose is only the voice
of the hopeless Nigerians, whose future is being mortgaged by the Buhari’s
Presidency cabal that are only interested in holding on to power at all cost.
“Fayose will
not be involved in any unlawful act and Nigerians, as well as the international
community, are placed on alert as to this new plot.
“On the part
of our governor, he remains undauntedly committed to truth and fearlessness in
his defence of Nigerians against the cabal using falsehood, intimidation,
arrest, detention and harassment to hold on to power.”
