He warned Fayose against malicious utterances to set the public against the APC governorship candidate, even as he berated the governor for blackmailing DSS agents in the performance of their official duties.

“Fayose has refused to relent in the illegal collection of teachers’ voter cards. There are reports of invitations of some teachers who refused to submit their voter cards by the Teaching Service commission on the order of the governor to answer queries for refusing to illegally transfer their voter cards to illegal hands, which prompted DSS to act to protect the teachers from illegal possession of their cards by unauthorised persons.

“Fayose is hereby warned against unguided statements and reckless lies that Fayemi sent his security aides to arrest school principals. Fayemi never has the power to direct DSS to arrest innocent citizens.

In fact, DSS agents do not need the directive of even President Muhammadu Buhari to carry out their legal duties.
