*Calls for strengthening of agency
Austin Okai, the leading candidate in Dekina/Bassa Federal House of Representatives under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lauded the Department of State Services (DSS) over its role in Nigeria’s stability.
He equally called for the strengthening of the agency to enable it perform efficiently in its deliverables.
The activist turned politician in a statement on Saturday, urged Nigerians to give their full support to the agency.
“DSS has done well in stabilising the country (Nigeria) and a unique agency like Department of State Services (DSS) deserves support of all of us,” he said.
He also appealed to the agency to look into the activities of thugs which has become a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.
The democrat lamented the destruction of lives and properties by thugs in the guise of “carrying out the assignment of government in power,” he alleged.
He, however, advised Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) to maintain its tempo, while commending the agency in its role in security gathering and protecting government properties.
Austin Okai is a strong critic of the Yahaya Bello-led administration who is seeking to represent Dekina/Bassa constituency in the 2023 elections.
