Controversial Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has accused President Muhammadu Buhari of orchestrating a purported plan to kill former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
Fayose equally accused the President of being behind the death of foremost Yoruba leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and former Bayelsa governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha.
According to Fayose, Buhari is planning Dasuki’s death by directing the Department of State Services (DSS) to hold hin under house arrest in spite of a court order authorising him to seek medical attention abroad.
The governor, in a statement through his spokesman, Lere Olayinka, said: “President Buhari seized late Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s international passport and prevented him from travelling abroad for medicare in 1985, thereby leading to his untimely death of 1987,” Fayose said via a statement by his spokesman Lere Olayinka.
“Buhari also hounded former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, to death all in the name of fighting perceived political opponents.
“Therefore, it has become necessary to raise the alarm that nothing must happen to Dasuki.
“The fate that befell Awolowo in 1985 must not be allowed to befall Sambo Dasuki in 2015 and Nigerians must rise against this Buhari’s dictatorship and his instrument of oppression, Lawal Daura.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) placement of the former NSA under house arrest despite court order that his international passport be released so that he can travel abroad for medical treatment is wicked, inhuman, dictatorial and a clear attempt to deny him of his rights to life as enshrined in the Constitution of Nigeria.
“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.
“Nigerians, who fought late General Sanni Abacha to a standstill, will fight this emerging Buhari’s ‘militocracy,’ which is a clear threat to our hard-earned democracy.”
