The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has alleged that the some members of the All Progressives Congress were already plotting with the Department of State Service to implicate and arrest him.
The arrest, he said, was planned to include some top members of his government.
According to him, the plot was to charge them for treasonable offence.
This alleged plot was made known in a statement made available by the governor’s spokesperson, Lere Olayinka.
The Special Assistant on Public Communication and New Media to the governor, Olayinka, said part of the plot was to arrest some miscreants with some incriminating materials, and they would claim that they were sponsored by Fayose.
The statement reads: “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 Muhammadu 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 Muhammadu Buhari…
“This is because Governor Fayose is only the voice of the hopeless Nigerians, whose future is being mortgaged by the Buhari’s Presidency cabal that are only interested in holding on to power at all cost.
“Governor Fayose will not be involved in any unlawful act and Nigerians as well as the international community are placed on alert as to this new plot.
“On the part of our governor, Peter Ayodele Fayose, he remains undauntedly committed to truth and fearlessness in his defence of Nigerians against the cabal using falsehood, intimidation, arrest, detention and harassment to hold on to power.”
