Fayose mocks DSS as he blasts APC led Govt

Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti State has accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of doctoring a phone conversation between him and governor of Rivers, Nyesom Wike, The Guardian reports.

Online newspaper, Sahara Reporters earlier today released an audio conversation between both governors following the Rivers rerun election.

While reacting to the issue, his media aide, Lere Olayinka in a statement by Fayose said, “If the President and his hatchet men in the DSS, EFCC and other federal government agencies do not know what to do other than to record phone conversations of their perceived political foes, they should just resign and save the country from this harrowing experience.”

According to the governor, the federal government was threatened by his popularity and recent endorsement by notable religious leaders such as Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Pastor W. F. Kumuyi.

“They should even go beyond taping of my lines and come to live with me in Ekiti government house so that they can do per seconds live recordings of whatever I say because in the year 2017, by the grace of God, I will still say more without apology,” he said.

He accused the APC led federal government of having no regard for the law, Fayose said, “They know that what they are doing is illegal and clear contravention of Section 37 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, which provides that; ‘The privacy of citizens, their homes, correspondence, telephone conversations and telegraphic communications is hereby guaranteed and protected.’

“However, because they are criminally minded and are running a tyrannical government, using the DSS, EFCC and other agencies, one is not surprised at the current development.”
