.........As Governors, Others Push To Keep Him To Ensure Access To President

The Chief Security Officer (CSO) to President Bola Tinubu, Adegboyega Fasasi, has refused to leave the Aso Rock Villa despite being redeployed by the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Tosin Ajayi, since October 20, top sources in the Presidency revealed to SaharaReporters.

SaharaReporters gathered on Tuesday that Fasasi has the backing of some state governors and other influential people to remain in the Villa, having allegedly received monies from them to ensure regular access to Tinubu.

Some other officials in the Villa, however, accused the CSO of a pattern of receiving bribes to screen those who could see Tinubu and those who would not.

Some officials at the Villa accused the CSO of having a pattern of receiving bribes to control access to President Tinubu, deciding who gets to see him and who doesn't.

"There is a lot of pressure by governors and influential people from whom he has collected money to keep him, saying that he has to be there. We can confirm from Villa that the CSO refused to leave," one of the sources said.

"He’s accused of shaking down people to visit Tinubu. The logic of those supporting his stay is weird. They claim that if he leaves, they will have to bribe the new person afresh to have access to Tinubu," the source further revealed.

"Some powerful people are backing Fasasi and are negotiating to let him leave in December," another source corroborated.

SaharaReporters on October 20 reported that the Director General of the DSS or State Security Service (SSS), Ajayi, had removed Fasasi from his position as the CSO to Tinubu.

Fasasi was replaced by Rasheed Atanda Lawal, a deputy director of the SSS, who is currently enrolled in a fellowship course at the National Institute for Security Studies.

According to reports, President Tinubu approved Fasasi’s removal at the request of the DSS DG, who cited the need to send him for a “strategic course” — a common pretext for replacing top security officials close to the president.

It was learnt that Lawal was due for promotion to the rank of Director in July 2023, but the former management stalled his advancement, reportedly because he was not favoured by the previous DG.

In March 2019, then President Muhammadu Buhari approved the redeployment of his Chief Security Officer, Bashir Abubakar, and appointed Idris Ahmed as his replacement.

Then Director General of the SSS, Yusuf Bichi, reportedly persuaded the president that Mr. Bashir needed to attend a “strategic course” at a university in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to his replacement.

Meanwhile, in September. the DSS redeployed its spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya, and has not named his replacement.

While addressing a press conference at the headquarters of the service in Abuja, Afunanya explained that the new media policy of the service is to be less visible in the media and public spaces.

The recent decision signals a regression to the service's former practice of secrecy, characterized by a lack of transparency, accountability, and openness in its interactions with the public and media.

Sahara Reporters have journalists, reporters and media team stationed in Aso rock, they're telling you what's happening there, and a "N10 per post" guy like you staying in one thick village in Ogbomosho is calling it lies

This is beyond madness! Tueh!

How does this even relate to the nonsense report?

Na Tinubu redeploy am?

Isnt it an entirely DSS thing?

Reand and comprehend please

What incompetence! If he refuses to leave shoot him! Let his family come and carry his corpse. He can't be bigger than the DSS that put him there.

But seriously enough of this play on our intelligence. What stops the DSS from revoking his access to the villa? What stops the DSS from taking away his clearance?

Since his replacement is still in school. There could be an arrangement that he should cover for the new cso till he come out of school.

Cso position is very sensitive and can't be left vacant like that of the spokesperson

Their problem

Noted.

This guys redeployment is connected to sims visit to Tinubu in London. Its stuupid for the President CSO to give out the presidents location to random person because his palm has been greased.

It's why DSS is reporting him to us so that we can go remove him from the Villa....just as EFCC is reporting Yahaya Bello to us. As for me, I'm a little busy. When I'm free, I shall help
