The lawmakers accused  the DSS of acting on the orders from above. File: Ekiti-lawmakers File: Ekiti-lawmakers  However, briefing newsmen at the National Assembly complex, the  Chairman, Ekiti House Committee on Information, Honorable Gboyega  Aribisogan, said the call for the President to direct the release of the 
detained legislators has become imperative because the DSS would not  embark on such action without presidential approval. 

Aribisogan said: “Like we have maintained, plotters of evil against the  government of Ayodele Fayose and by extension the people of Ekiti State  will not get our support.  “We, members of the State House of Assembly are prepared to spend the  rest of our tenure in DSS cell, instead of plotting against our leader  and mentor, Governor Ayodele Fayose.”

  Speaking further, he said: “Gone are those days in Nigeria when  impeachment notices against governors were signed on the table of the  Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and this  time around, if the DSS is programmed to play the role played by the  EFCC under former President Olusegun Obasanjo, it will fail”.  “Also, if this harassment and intimidation is about 2018, we wish to  state unequivocally that we in the PDP are fully on ground in Ekiti. 

We  are not playing diaspora politics as being done by the APC and Nigerians  should be rest assured that the APC will be defeated once again.  “We won’t be intimidated by any agency of the Federal Government, the  DSS inclusive.  “We have also been told that some of us have been slated for arrest and  detention and it is on this note that we have come to inquire from the  DSS those of us they still want to arrest so that we can turn ourselves  in without giving them the stress of coming down to Ekiti.  

“The DSS can also go ahead and publish the names of our members that  they want to arrest so that we will know who among us to bring to Abuja.  “Alternatively, the DSS can keep the entire 26 members of the Ekiti  State House of Assembly in their custody for as long as they desire so  that it will be easy for them to call anyone of us for questioning at  any time of the day,” he stated.
