Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele
Fayose has accused the Department of State Service (DSS) of recording telephone
conversations of Nigerians perceived as critical of the Pres. Buhari’s APC
government, editing the conversations and leaking same to SR.
Governor Fayose, who said he was
not bothered by the new sinister antic of the federal government, added that;
"Rather than sitting down and be monitoring peoples phones, the federal
government should provide food for Nigerians and save the lives of those that
are being killed in Southern Kaduna and other places."
The governor, who reacted to his
telephone conversation with Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike that was
published by Sahara Reporters today, through his Special Assistant on Public
Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said; “If the President and his
hatchet men in the DSS, EFCC and other federal government agencies do not know
what to do other than to record phone conversations of their perceived
political foes, they should just resign and save the country from this
harrowing experience."
He said it was obviously that
they were being threatened by the complimentary comments of notable Nigerians
like Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye
Ogunwusi and others about him because those comments negate the cabal's evil
intentions.
The governor described the DSS
recording telephone conversations of Nigerians and leaking them to Sahara
Reporters to publish as the height of the political rascality, manipulation,
oppression, suppression and irresponsibility by agents of the federal
government that are trying so hard to cover up the crimes they perpetrated
against the people of Rivers State.
"They should even go beyond
taping of my lines and come to live with me in Ekiti government house so that
they can do per seconds live recordings of whatever I say because in the year
2017, by the grace of God, I will still say more without apology," he
said.
Governor Fayose said for the
first time since democracy returned to the country in 1999, Nigerians were
celebrating Christmas and new year with hunger and sufferings beyond measure.
"Nigerians are asking for food on their tables, they want employments,
they want security, not recording of people's phone conversations and handing
it to a road side online platform to publish.
"Unemployment and job loss
are increasing at a very alarming rate while the electoral process is daily
being bastardised. "Rather than tackling hunger and the country’s economic
woes, they have embarked on diversionary tactics with irrelevant stories of
Governors Wike and Fayose’s phone conversations, governors who do not bear arms
and have no control over any security apparatus," the governor said.
He said: “I knew it before now
that telephone conversations of prominent Nigerians, especially National
Assembly members and opposition figures are being monitored, but I have
remained unperturbed in my resolve to play my roles in rescuing Nigeria from
the jaws of tyranny, which the present APC federal government represents."
While maintaining that the APC
led federal government do not respect the laws of the country, Governor Fayose
said; “They know that what they are doing is illegal and clear contravention of
Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which
provides that; ‘The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone
conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and
protected.’ “However, because they are criminally minded and are running a
tyrannical government, using the DSS, EFCC and other agencies, one is not
surprised at the current development.
He encouraged Nigerians not to
keep silent in the face of this tyranny, saying; "it will get to everybody
one day, some day.” He said; "Like I said before, their style has become
so predictable. Whenever Nigerians cry of the pains and sufferings they are
going through, they will come with flimsy stories like; “20 Chibok girls
found,” “$1 billion found in Mr A, B or C bedroom,” “Boko Haram technically
defeated,” “We have captured Sambisa forest,” "Governors Wike and Fayose’s
phone conversations leaked," etc just to divert attention.
"Regrettably, Governors Wike and Fayose that bear no arm remain their
headache while their agents that bear arms like guns, armoured tanks and
fighter jets etc, using them against Nigerians have not been called to
question.
"Going by the barrage of
pains being inflicted on Nigerians by his cluelessness, if I will give the
President a candid advise, I will tell him to resign because he has failed
Nigerians, whose votes he obtained by deception. Under his watch, Dollar is now
N500 to $1, their is unprecedented hunger in the land, Nigerians are being
killed in Southern Kaduna and other places, "It is better for the
President to resign because he appears not to have capacity for positivity.
"If all the presidents that
ruled before Buhari had behaved like he is behaving now, he himself will be in
jail. "However, let me say it once again, I am one person who is not
afraid of death or incarceration. I will keep telling Nigerians the truth, which
obviously hurts Buhari and the cabal around him."
