Second Republic House of Reps member, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has warned that President Muhammadu Buhari’s actions and inactions may led Nigeria into another civil war.
In an interview with Daily Post, Mohammed wondered why Buhari should appoint Yusuf Magaji Bichi as the substantive Director-General of the Department of State Security, DSS, ahead of Seiyefa.
He also lamented Buhari’s refusal to prosecute former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and the sacked DSS DG, Mamman Daura.
The former lawmaker stressed that Seiyefa should have been appointed as the substantive DSS boss despite approaching his retirement age.
Mohammed said, “I don’t care where Bichi is from but being brought out of retirement when there are a lot of fine officers in service who still have a lot to offer, that is wrong, immoral and an oppression.
“I also don’t believe that they have any faith in the current structure of the DSS, they should please pick the best and retain the best.
“That Seiyefa has few months to go, does not mean that if he deserves something he should not be given. Until the last day of his retirement, the man must be allowed to perform his function.
“The decree of the DSS clearly states the powers of the DG either in acting or confirmed and the fact that few weeks after his appointment, Seiyefa moved to get treacherous, illegal and dubious insertion from Abba Kyari, Buhari’s Chief of Staff, shows that they don’t want somebody who wants to work professionally, they want somebody who will be their fan like Daura, but that is not good enough for the country.
“I also believe that some of the crimes committed by the Buhari administration under Daura should be brought to book and that include Abba Kyari, Daura and Babachir Lawal. Up until now, Buhari still believes he is innocent.
”I just hope that when they deal with him, they won’t include Nigeria because the way he is going, God knows, I hope he doesn’t drag us into another civil war.”
