Nigerians Who Fought Sanni Abacha To A Standstill Will Fight Buhari’s Dictatorship- Fayose

    The Ekiti State
    Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari over the
    placement of a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) under
    house arrest.
    He further said
    Buhari should be held responsible should anything untoward happen to Dasuki and
    that his house arrest was an abuse of human rights.
    He said, “The
    Department of State Services’ placement of the former NSA under house arrest
    despite court order that his international passport be released so that he
    could travel abroad for medical treatment is wicked, inhumane, dictatorial and
    a clear attempt to deny him of his rights to life as enshrined in the constitution
    of Nigeria.”

    The governor also
    hailed the Federal High Court of Abuja’s ruling which orders the DSS to allow
    Dasuki to travel out of the country for medical treatment.
    “Nigerians,
    especially men of the judiciary, must join hands to shake dictatorship off the
    body of President Buhari and his hatchet man, Alhaji Lawal Daura,” Fayose said
    in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media,
    Lere Olayinka. “Nigerians who fought late General Sanni Abacha to a standstill
    will fight this emerging Buhari’s ‘milutocracy’, which is a clear threat to our
    hard-earned democracy.”
    The governor claimed
    he had been vindicated on his earlier position that the Director-General of
    DSS, Lawal Daura, who is a President Buhari’s kinsman, was an instrument of
    political persecution.
    He said Daura could
    be likened the Director-General of DSS to Mohammed Lawal Rafindadi of the
    Nigerian Security Organisation who was also allegedly used by President Buhari
    as “instrument of political persecution between 1984 and 1985.”
    Fayose said
    President Buhari should be reminded that the Nigeria of 1984 is different from
    that of 2015.
    He added, “President
    Buhari seized late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s international passport and prevented
    him from travelling abroad for medical care in 1985, thereby leading to his
    (Awolowo’s) untimely death in 1987.

    “Buhari also hounded
    former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, to death, all in the
    name of fighting perceived political opponents.”
