The Bayelsa State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has given reasons President Muhammadu Buhari
removed former Acting Director-General of the Department of State Services,
DSS, Matthew Seiyefa.
Seiyefa was replaced with Yusuf
Magaji Bichi, by President Buhari last Friday, after he acted for a brief
period during which he tried to reposition the security agency.
Chairman of the state PDP,
Cleopas Moses, in a statement in Yenagoa, yesterday, said Seiyefa’s sudden removal
was borne out of fear by the ruling cabal.
He said that members of President
Buhari’s kitchen cabinet were not comfortable with a non-Northerner as the DSS
boss.
According to Moses, Seiyefa’s
service to the nation was cut short because he is not from any of the major
ethnic groups in Nigeria.
He said that this was a
continuation of the current Federal Government’s unfair treatment to the Ijaw
nation and the Niger Delta region.
He added, “The party believes if
Seiyefa was from any of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, he would not have
been thrown out the way the Buhari administration did, not minding his
acclaimed competence on the job.
“We have it on record that Mr.
Seiyefa had nobody to run to as this ill-advised plot was hatched by the cabal
in their government.”
The party chairman said the All
Progressives Congress, APC-led government was being anti-Ijaw in its decisions
and execution of policies and projects.
