Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has condemned the alleged invasion of the Akwa Ibom State Government House, Uyo, by the special squad of the Department of State Services (DSS).

Fayose at a news conference on Friday regretted the way and manner the presidential wing of the Akwa Ibom Government House was ransacked in a “commando-like manner” with the occupants harassed and intimidated.

He described the claim that the security operatives were looking for bombs as unacceptable, saying the DSS men ought to look for bomb in the Northeast region ravaged by Boko Haram insurgency.

The Ekiti governor said the invasion was “regrettable, unfortunate, condemnable and unacceptable” because the DSS boss’ action has come to symbolize dictatorship which “democracy abhors.”

“By invading the Government House, the DSS operatives behaved in an authoritarian and despotic manner in a democratic era,” he stated.

Fayose urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call the DSS Director General, Lawal Daura, to order saying he is dragging Nigeria back to era of military dictatorship.

He said: “Obviously, the Thursday invasion of the Akwa Ibom Government House by men of the DSS and the arrest of the state INEC REC are part of the sinister plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to circumvent the will of the people of the South South and Southeast states controlled by the PDP, using the DSS, but it will fail ultimately.

“To say the least, invasion of the Akwa Ibom State Government House on Thursday as ordered by Daura, was a rape of democracy and invitation to chaos and anarchy. It is authoritarian, dictatorial and I condemn it strongly.

“If a Government House occupied by a Governor who enjoys the same immunity enjoyed by the President as provided by the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria could be invaded by a Special Squad of the DSS, it means Lawal Daura is moving this country towards dictatorship and it must be said that Daura and his DSS men will definitely have Nigerians to contend with.

“As for me, I will continue to talk because Nigeria is not a banana republic that can be ruled anyhow by anyone and Mr. Daura and those urging him on should know that this reign of brute force over co situational democracy will fail.

“Most importantly, Lawal Daura and his desperate men should know that here in Nigeria of today, the power of the people is greater than the power of those in power and the people will always rise in defence of their government no matter how strong the aggression.”

It is obvious that Buhari and gang are doing everything they can to force a conflict on eastrrn Nigeria. . These are not acts that happenbas a result of coincidence, these are intentional acts designed to stimulate a conflict so as to have enough excuse to unleash maximum violence if the locals react. .

Your bigotry couldn't allow you pass that comment bye.

It is simply called Eastern Nigeria same way majority of Nigeria refers to Nigeria's three protectorates that formed Nigeria.

I know you wouldn't mind when people address some parts of Nigeria as North or West rather you go all in flames hearing Eastern Nigeria.

This is why I blasted you for opening a thread you captioned "I am no longer Igbo nor a Christian but a Nigerian", when in essence you are neither Igbo nor a Christian.

Please give these chase a break, Chukwudi was right, Akwaibom State is Eastern Nigeria, it's not North nor is it West.
