Ekiti
State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has condemned the removal of the
Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom
Wike less than five days to the State’s legislative re-run election,
saying; “With this ignoble action by the federal government, it is now
clear that the federal government is out to subvert the will of the
people of Rivers State by whatever means in favour of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).” Governor Fayose, who alerted the
international community on the imminent danger being posed to Nigeria by
the APC-led federal government, said; “Nigeria deserve total attention
from the international community at this time. The international
community should not look the other way while those holding power in
Abuja plunge the country into crisis of international magnitude.”Special
Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, quoted the governor as saying that it was getting clearer that
Governor Wike was right when he claimed that there was a plot to assassinate him before Saturday.
The
governor said President Mohammadu Buhari should be reminded that he
sworn to protect all Nigerians, irrespective of the party they belong
to.
He asked; “How can anyone tamper with security aides of a
State Governor without his consent? How can the Chief Security Officer
of a state governor be changed without the consent of the governor?
Isn’t it now clear that they actually want to kill Governor Wike before the Saturday election?”
Governor
Fayose, who said all steps being taken by the federal government were
geared towards turning Nigeria to a one party State, warned that
“Nigeria can never be turned to a one party State and if care is not
taken, by the time this house of democracy is destroyed by the APC
cabal, no one will be spared.”
He said those trying to impose
their will on the people by whatever means must leant from history,
especially what happened in Nigeria between 1979 and 1983 and where it
led Nigeria to.
