‘Bold move by FG’ — and other reactions to sack of DSS DG
Lawal Daura, director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), was sacked by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on Tuesday.
This happened after armed operatives of the DSS blocked lawmakers from entering the National Assembly Complex.
While some praised the federal government for this, others believed Daura was “tactically sacked” to seek sympathy from the public.
Below are reactions from social media:
Bold move by the FGN to sack Lawal Daura. Even IF they're playing a "Frank Underwood" it's well played. 👏👏

Leadership is everything! Lawal Daura given the sack latter and suddenly everybody body don cool down.
When leaders do nothing and say nothing, they create a vacuum which nature forbids. And you know what follows.

I commend acting President @ProfOsinbajo for sacking the Director General of the Daura Secret Service, Lawal Daura. By this action, Professor Osinbajo has separated himself from the anti democratic tendencies of President @MBuhari #FrustrateBuhariDictatorship

The UK Govt @GOVUK and its US counterpart @WhiteHouse must deny Lawal Daura entry into their countries.

The whole Osinbanjo Lawal Daura thing is a script to toy with your intelligence. They know there will always be millions of Nigerians to deceive again and again!

Lawal Daura's sack is looonnngggg overdue. Has always been Saraki's mole within the Government. Used the DSS to sabotage the EFCC. Justice Minister and Attorney General of the Federation should also be sacked.

@ProfOsinbajo what Lawal Daura has done is a treasonable offense.

If you think and believe that the Presidency didn't order the DSS to block @nassnigeria and that Lawal Daura was made a scapegoat THEN believe that Stoke City will win the premier League this season

Don't allow the sack of Lawal Daura distract you from the fact that Buhari/Osinbajo must leave Aso Rock in 2019. This administration has been a disaster. It took them that long.

It's not the DG DSS that should be sacked. It's the person who gave the DG marching orders that should be sacked. And if he was acting independently, I'm even more worried because it makes no sense whatsoever. It's the closest thing to a military coup you can have

How PMB kept Lawal Daura as DG DSS for 3.5 years despite his acts of sabotage and insubordination will remain mystery. The Problem with PMB is that he's too loyal to those he knows.

Lawal Daura, DG DSS, merely offered himself as a sacrifice to save Buhari's face. The guy still has his job. @OfficialAPCNg should write a better script.
We are wiser now!

Baba @MBuhari no dey sack anybody but see @ProfOsinbajo now. DG, DSS gone. So others pls be misbehaving everytime the President is not in the country so you can get what you deserve. Institutions should be institutions, politicians should be politicians but too hard to comprehend
