Evidence has emerged that the Director-General of the Department of State Service
(DSS) Mr. Lawal Daura is a member of the All Progressive Congress (APC) whose
name was published as member of the Security Directorate (sub-committee) of the
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had on Wednesday disclosed that the newly
appointed boss of the DSS as a card carrying member of the APC is not competent
to head the security agency.
However the APC, on Thursday denied the allegation by the PDP saying the
accusation was absurd and frivolous.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party
challenged the PDP to publish any evidence it may have to confirm the allegation.
The statement read in part: “In the absence of that, the PDP must call another press
conference to publicly apologise to all Nigerians for engaging in barefaced lies,” it
said.
“We know that the psyche of the PDP has been badly affected by its loss of power
at the centre. Even the party itself has admitted that much. That situation has now
been compounded by the fact that the party is broke. It is therefore not a surprise
that it is no longer able to think straight. The reality of its new situation is just
beginning to dawn on it.
“But we warned the PDP earlier on that being in opposition is not a walk in the park.
We warned that while the party was used to eating its bread with butter on both
sides, it will now be lucky to even have bread to it,” the party said.
It warned the PDP to spend more time in patching its tattered and battered umbrella
than acting as a cog in the wheel of progress of the new Administration.
