Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator
representing Bayelsa East senatorial district in National Assembly, has queried
President Muhammadu Buhari’s latest appointment of new Director-General of
Department of State Security, DSS.
Buhari
had in a statement through his Spokesman, Garba Shehu, appointed Yusuf Magaji
Bichi as the new Director General of the security agency.
Magaji replaces Matthew Seiyeifa,
a native of Bayelsa State, who has been operating in acting capacity since
Lawal Daura was sacked few months back.
Reacting to the development on
his Twitter page, Ben-Bruce wondered why Seiyefa, who was the only Southerner
heading an intelligence agency was replaced by a Northerner.
He tweeted, “Seiyefa was the only
Southerner heading an Intelligence agency. He was competent and loyal.
“In the interest of federal
character and North South balance, President @MBuhari should have retained him.
Bichi may be competent, but how can all Intelligence be headed by Northerners?”
