Give Them Suggestions How To Go About It

The govenors have tried but what we need is to insist on our autonomy to run our internal affairs. Those who will allow Amotekun to work would have allowed stare police” Afenifere said.

The above statement is the solution suggested!

Spot on! #hardfact!

Some yam heads will leave the truth and face igbos concerning this now.

when you won't mind your business, you just had to drag yourself into the issue, abirun

Nigerians are so funny. You just beg to ask,

Why not just demand for the restructuring of the entore country in an orderly, organised manner so that proper structures can be put in place, adequate encompassing laws passed and power can be properly delineated.

What is happening presently just looks haphazard, error prone and bound to create more structural imbbalances down the line. Moreso it places government once more as the sole driver of social cohesion which is wrong and further widens the disconnect between authority and citizen.

I have said it repeatedly, the best way for this country to exist is under negotiated settlement and the only way for Nigeria to move forward is by hearing out everyone and reaching the best consensus. Unilateral action has never worked in any relationship.

As much as I don't like involving myself in these issue firstly Afenifere should respect themselves that all I will say. On the issue of these opc and amotekun I have my own reservations, putting power in the hands of illiterates is my worry, if anybody here remebers what opc did then you be scared and anybody that live in ago palace okota isolo should have idea of what opc did then until that movie day obasanjo sent the army to storm okota that was the day opc power was crushed. I think the best way is to retrain them, give them proper orientation, give them out fit, let them look presentable ,profile them and not just put some crazy set of people that after sometime power will turn there hand.Gani Adams as no say in these.

You like a man pretending to be asleep, you're pretending not to understand. But who cares!

Pan Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere has warned governors in the South- West region to stop giving Yoruba people a false sense of security with the planned launch of the South-West security outfit codenamed ‘Operation Amotekun’.

Speaking on the controversy that has trailed the launch of the outfit, especially the claim by the Iba Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland who said the governors are not carrying him along, Afenifere said the governors are only pretending to be doing something about the insecurity in the region.

Yinka Odumakin, the organisation’s National Publicity Secretary said it is surprising that the governors were silent when the Inspector General of Police asked the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) to do joint patrol with the Miyetti Allah cattle breeders who are responsible for the security crisis in the region.

“Amotekun is an attempt to be seen to be doing something about insecurity on the South West but they should not give a false sense of security to our besieged people”.

“They cannot say they have forgotten so soon that when the IGP came to hold security summit in Ibadan, the communique he handed to them asked OPC to do joint patrol with Miyeeti Allah the major source of insecurity in the region.Is OPC involved in any security measure in the North?”

The organisation also faulted reports by some security agencies who said they cannot work with OPC members or local hunters because they are not trained in security matters.

“We have had reports of uniformed agencies saying they cannot work with OPC and hunters because they are not trained. Are they the ones that trained Hisbah, which is Sharia police in the North or Lafia Dole?”

“And our people are still oblivious of the fact that what we face is a state sponsored programme of ensuring that we remain vulnerable and never be in charge of our insecurity? The government defends Miyetti Allah now and then and has refused to disarm them of the illegal AK47s they are wielding all over”.

Afenifere said there is nothing Amotekun can do to the Fulani herdsmen as they are being given special preference by the federal government.

“They have added to that by saying they will allow them to come in to the country without visa. What will Amotekun do against a group that even the regular police dare not touch?”

“Amotekun can deal with fowl thieves and other petty criminals but not these ones on an invading mission and heavily backed. The govenors have tried but what we need is to insist on our autonomy to run our internal affairs. Those who will allow Amotekun to work would have allowed stare police” Afenifere said.

I really wondered where was Afenifere in 1967? The only Yoruba thing that can be counted.

Are they meant to provide security in any political campaign or rally? All these children sef

Crimes are not general. You may have kidnapping in east and north central, you may have money laundering and cultism in Lagos and Rivers,
you may have ritualists in Ogun, you may have terrorism in Kogi and North east etc...these require state police to prioritize and strategize according to their peculiarities. Also, there should be district policing. For Pete's sake, why not reapply standard practice?

Afamed:

And the state police will come from America and Britain?

The state Police will have the power to arrest and prosecute. Amotekun doesn't have such power. Amotekun is not known to any legislature. Amotekun is just a glorified vigilante group.

Especially with involvement of OPC and Miyetti Allah

Looks like you see this as a curse. Is it because you know that buahri is a bad leader? Why then have you been defending bad leadership? Is it a curse on you or a result of brainlessness?
Why do you think anyone who opposes buhari must be a PDP member? Is it a result of stupidity on your part?

May the consequences of buhari presidency never depart from your life and destiny. Say amen if you believe buhari is a good president. See it as a curse if you know buahri is a bad president.
