Following the alleged invasion and arrest of four members of the Ekiti
State House of Assembly on Friday evening by the operatives of the Department
of State Security (DSS), Governor Ayodele Fayose has declared that he cannot be
intimidated by any show of force by the Federal Government.
According to him, even if the State was invaded by one million armed men of the DSS on the order of President Muhammadu Buhari, the government and the people of the state will never be intimidated to surrender governance of the state to political desperados, whose four years reign destroyed the economy of the state.

The Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Hon, Kola Oluwawole
had on Saturday told newsmen that operatives of DSS invaded the Assembly on
Friday evening, during the sessions of various committees of the House, shot
into the air and abducted four members of the House to an unknown destination.
The governor, who expressed concern over the activities of the DSS under
President Buhari, said the security agency was overreaching its constitutional
mandate, as it’s being used to achieve petty partisan interest.
Fayose said the government of Ekiti State may have to reconsider the
usefulness of men of the DSS in the government house and other institutions of
the state government. Fayose, in a statement in Ado-Ekiti yesterday by his
Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said
the APC led Federal Government was pursuing a clandestine agenda of truncating
democracy in Ekiti State and other Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) controlled
States like Rivers and Bayelsa.
In his words, “If Buhari likes, let him relocate all DSS men in Nigeria
with the entire ammunition in their armoury to Ekiti, the will of Ekiti people
can never be broken. They will only try, and like they have always done, they
will fail because dictatorship has never triumphed over the people.
Even Buhari’s dictatorship between 1984 and 1985 ended one day and
Nigerians will also outlive his present dictatorship.”
