Ekiti State
Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has condemned the Tuesday’s invasion and seal off
of the residence of former Kano State Governor, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso by
armed policemen to prevent a mass wedding programme, reiterating his earlier
warning that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its supporters have built
dictatorship round President Buhari by not joining other Nigerians to condemn
his undemocratic acts.
The governor, who
said he was more concerned about the rape of democracy and the rule law under
the APC government of President Buhari, added that; “The fact that Senator
Rabiu Kwankwaso is of the ruling APC should worry well-meaning Nigerians
because it appears no one will be spared by this anti-democracy agents that
have taking over Nigeria.”
In a statement
issued in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday, by the Special Assistant to governor on
Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose wondered
where it was written in the laws of Nigeria that Nigerians must obtain Police
permit to hold wedding ceremony or even to assemble in private residence. The
statement read;
“When they invaded
the Akwa Ibom State Government House with armed men of the Department of State
Security (DSS), I raised alarm then and I did warn that Nigeria was being
returned to 1984 when President Buhari ruled the country like a maximum ruler.
“When I said Nigerians irrespective of their political parties should rise in
condemnation of the President Buhari’s government emerging dictatorship, many
of our friends in the APC opted to keep silent. Some even hailed the Department
of State Security (DSS) when the service invaded the Ekiti State House of
Assembly and abducted a member of the House.
“Last week
Wednesday, when the police sealed off the venue of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) National Convention in Port-Harcourt and blocked the road leading to the
Old Presidential Lodge of the Rivers State Government House where I and other
PDP leaders were accommodated, our friends in the APC kept silent. Some even
hailed the police! “However, as a Nigerian and ardent lover of democracy and
rule of law, I have elected to once again condemn the yesterday’s armed
policemen invasion and seal off of the private residence of Senator Rabiu
Kwankwaso and I hope that this time around, our friends in the APC will realise
that no one will be spared by the time this emerging dictatorship reaches its
peak.
“Nigerians should
realise that with the bullying of Kwankwaso, a two term governor, former
minister of defence and serving senator, it is now very clear that the APC
government will even be intolerant of opposition within the party, not to talk
of external opposition and men of good conscience should prevail on President
Buhari to caution the security agencies to be mindful of foisting tyranny on
Nigerians.”
