APC, DSS Plotting to Implicate Me in Treasonable Offence, Alleges Fayose
Apparently for being critical of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, Ekiti State Government, has accused some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of conniving with the Department of State Services (DSS) to implicate the State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose in treasonable offence.
The governor said the plot was being secretly plotted with a view to arresting him and some top functionaries of the State government.
Fayose’s Special Assistant on Public Communications , Lere Olayinka, made this known in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Friday . The governor alleged that some miscreants were already slated to be arrested by the DSS, after which the DSS would claim that subversive materials were found on them and that the arrested miscreants confessed that they were being sponsored by Governor Fayose.
The statement read; “Few hours ago, credible information was received as to the new plot by the APC-led federal government to rope the Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose into treasonable offence.
“This plot is being hatched with the active connivance of some top functionaries of the DSS. “Some miscreants are already slated to be arrested by the DSS, after-which the DSS will claim that subversive materials were ‘found’ on them and that the arrested miscreants confessed that they were being sponsored by Governor Fayose to promote insurgency in the country, with the ultimate aim of toppling the President Buhari-led government.
“The DSS will then move in, claiming to be acting on the confession of the “arrested” miscreants and attempt to arrest Governor Fayose and some top functionaries of the Ekiti State government.
“Arrest of Governor Fayose will be premised on claim that the immunity being enjoyed by the governor does not cover treasonable offences.
“Nigerians should recall that Governor Fayose made it known last week that he was aware of the various attempts on his life just because he chose to expose to Nigerians, the state of health of President Buhari.
