DSS invites Former Speaker Ghali Na’abba

The Department of State Service (DSS) has invited a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ghali Umar Na’aba.

Na’aba, who was invited by the DSS on Friday, is to appear at its headquarters in Abuja, on Monday.

Daily Trust reports that the former Speaker is a Co-Chairman of the recently formed political movement known as the National Consultative Front (NCFront).

A former presidential candidate, Prof. Pat Utomi, is the convener of the NCFront.

It is not clear why the former lawmaker has been invited.

The Head, Public Affairs Bureau of the NCFront and former National Chairman of Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Dr. Yunusa Tanko, in a statement on Saturday, said Na’aba had agreed to honour the invitation on Monday.

“Please, be notified that the DSS, on Friday, sent an invitation to NCFront Co-Chair and Former Speaker of Nigeria, Rt Hon Ghali Umar Na’aba after his very profound interview on Channels Television on Thursday, with regards to the NCFront agenda to bring about a new Nigeria that works for all.

“However, our leader, Ghali Umar Na’aba, has decided to honour the DSS invitation and therefore shall be visiting the DSS Headquarters in Abuja, on Monday, at 12 noon.

“All NCFront organs, structures and allies nationwide are, by this notice, put on the alert as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” he said.
