Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State has dared the Federal Government to carry out the alleged plot of preventing him from travelling out of the country noting that “this dangerous dimension of compelling a sitting governor that enjoys Constitutional immunity like the President to obtain clearance from the Director General of the Department of State Service (DSS) before travelling out of Nigeria can ever be contemplated.”
Reacting to reports that two governors, one from the South-west and another from the South-south have been placed on travel restriction, Fayose said under the federal system of government, governors are not appendages of the President and as a leading opposition figure in Nigeria, he cannot be cowed by President Mohammadu Buhari and his agents.”
The governor who spoke during a press conference addressed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka said whenever he wished to travel out of Nigeria, he would do so in the full glare of the public.
“I am not surprised or disappointed by this latest plot of the Buhari’s government because the President Buhari that we know is a man without any atom of respect for the rights of Nigerians as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and this he demonstrated as a military dictator and now demonstrating as a democratically elected president,” Fayose said.
