The
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has condemned the raiding of the home of
the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, by security agencies. He accused
President Muhammadu Buhari of running a government of terror so as to cow the
opposition.
According
to Fayose, the president is going after Igbo leaders in the opposition in order
to silent them through repeated harassment and intimidation.
Reacting
to the reported raiding of the home of Ekweremadu yesterday in Ado Ekiti, by
security agencies, the governor said the presidency in the efforts had turned
the hitherto disciplined law enforcement agencies like the police and
Department of State Services to agents of darkness that must muzzle the
opposition at all cost.
Fayose
said, "This is a calculated and sustained attempts to silent all the Igbo
leaders that are not in the All Progressives Congress with Buhari ahead of the
2019 general elections because he knows it is a no go area for his party.
"They
have gone from the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kalu, to
the Chairman of Capital Oil, Ifeanyi Ubah and now the Deputy Senate President,
Ike Ekweremadu. This is the muzzling of democracy and it is time we saved our
nation beyond party line from the hands of the terrorists.
"Obviously
it is too early to rate this government that has turned to govenment of terror
using DSS and police as agents of terror. This certainly is not the change we
bargained for.
"We
have lost this democracy to military junta of the past masquerading as
democrats and we must rise as a people to defend it.
"But
I assure Nigerians that this period shall pass. Nigeria will once again be free
from the hands of the agents of darkness and terror."
