The Department of State Service, DSS and other security agencies in the Federal Capy Territory, FCT on Sunday received commendations from a Civil Society Organization, CSO for ensuring a successful rally of the ObIdients Movement or supporters of Labour Party's presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi


 "The beauty of democracy is that it gives space for the opposition to thrive, and President Muhammadu Buhari has  time without number proven to the world that he is indeed a true democrat. Yesterday's Labour Party  Mega Rally is a clear testimonial to this fact",  the Coalition of Civil Society Groups for Peace, Security, Good Governance, Equity and Justice, CCSGPSGGEJ stated in a Press Release titled: 'Re: ObIdients Rally, Commendations for DSS, Other Security Agencies '


In the release, the  National Coordinator of CCSGPSGGEJ, Comrade James Okoronkwo paid glowing tributes to the FCT Director of DSS, Mr Ado Mu-azu and heads of other Security Agencies for ensuring that the rally was  hitch- free..


 Okonkwo argued that societies can only flourish when there is ample opportunity/freedom for the opposition to blossom, and success of the ObIdients rally is a clear example of allowing the opposition to have their say.


"We applaud the FCT Director of DSS, Mr Ado Mu-azu and the  heads of other security agencies for diligently collaborating to  ensure that the mammoth crowd that thronged the Unity Fountain  and trekked to the Moshood Abiola Stadium chanting the name of the presidential candidate of their party, Mr Peter Obi did not endanger public peace in the FCT


We must also applaud  the Inspector- General of Police Usman Baba Alkali for deploying policeman who conducted themselves in quite civil manners  during the rally yesterday"


 The CCSGPSGGEJ affirmed that the peaceful outcome of the rally  shows a clear proof that the security agencies are non-partisan and therefore deserves our unalloyed support in their endeavour to make life more meaningful in Nigeria with adequate security for life and property and for our democracy to grow.
