“We are certain that Nigerians who want to take back their country will not be intimidated or blackmailed into abandoning a legitimate course.
“As a party, we have submitted ourselves to pursuing the course of justice through constitutional means, it will not serve as the interest of democracy collapses in Nigeria."
The spokesperson accused the DSS of failing to administer justice during the presidential elections.
He referred to the attack on Labour Party supporters in Lagos state and the ethnic profiling comments of famous Lagos garage chief, MC Oluomo.
Yunusa's words:
“We will like to ask, where was the DSS when our members and other Nigerians were being attacked, maimed and killed especially in Lagos?
“Where was the DSS when MC Oluomo and his ilk were engaged in ethnic profiling and violence against Nigerians of a certain ethnic nationality over their democratic choices?"
He, however, urged the DSS to step up its game, take its role seriously as a law enforcement agency, and bring electoral offenders to book.
