Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has criticised Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate Seyi Makinde for choosing former Department of State Services (DSS) Director-General Lawal Daura as his running mate for the 2027 election.
Olayinka noted that Makinde selected Daura, who was dismissed as DSS Director-General by then Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
Osinbajo first assumed the role of Acting President on February 5, 2016, during a short vacation by the late President Muhammadu Buhari. He later served in the same capacity during Buhari’s subsequent medical leaves, including periods in January 2017 and from May 7 to August 19, 2017.
On August 7, 2018, Osinbajo sacked Daura following an unauthorised siege and blockade of the National Assembly complex by masked security operatives.
In a post on X, Olayinka wrote: “Una remember this man? He is Lawal Daura, the former DSS Director-General. As DG DSS under Buhari’s government, Lawal Daura tried to sack the National Assembly until Osinbajo, who was acting President then, blocked and later sacked him.“That’s the man Ibadan Gomina General, Seyi Makinde picked as his running mate to contest for the president of Iwo Road and Bodija.“Sebi it is birds of the same feather that flock together nah.”
