Amotekun: Yorùbá World Congress Protests Peacefully In Support Of Operation by Sunky200: 11:43am On Jan 18, 2020
Yorùbá World Congress Press Statement On Operation Amotekun:

Yoruba World Congress to hold Solidarity Walk Tuesday January 21st ...Says South West Governors Must Not Backdown

The Yoruba people within and beyond the shores of Nigeria have been urged to come out in their large numbers on Tuesday 21st January 2020 to stage a protest rally in support of Operation Amotekun, a security network recently established by Governors from Western Nigeria to wage war against the spate of insecurity ravaging the zone.

The protest code-named "Amotekun Solidarity Walk" which is being organized by Yoruba World Congress (YWC); an umbrella body of all Yoruba Socio-cultural and Self Determination Groups within and beyond Nigeria will take place in all the South West States capital.

The YWC is being led by Yoruba Leader, Emeritus Professor of History and Second Republic Senator, Banji Akintoye.

According to a statement made available to News Men on Saturday by YWC Director of Contacts and Mobilization, Comrade Victor Taiwo, the protest will hold simultaneously in Lagos, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Osogbo, Akure and Ado-Ekitirespectively from 9am.

“All Yoruba people are urged to come out in their millions any where they are in Oduduwa Land on Tuesday to show to the world that Amotekun has come to stay. We must show to the external forces and their internal collaborators who want to stampede our resolve to protect ourselves, safeguard our land from kidnappers, armed-robbery and put an end to consistent destruction of our farm lands that enough is enough.

“Well-meaning Yoruba people and leaders of thought would be at designated venues to address the protest. We want to assure our Governors that Yoruba people are behind them on Amotekun. We urge them not to shiver and they must never shiver. It is no retreat, no surrender. We will not surrender Amotekun”
On the meeting points, those in;

LAGOS are to converge at Gani Faweyinmi Freedom Park, Ojota;

OYO: Opposite Agodi Cenotaph, Ibadan;

OGUN: Pansheke Junction, Abeokuta;

OSUN: Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo;

ONDO: Alagbaka Roundabout, opposite First Bank, Akure while those in

EKITI are to converge at Fajuyi Round about, Ado-Ekiti.

The list of state co-ordinators, according to the statement, would be released on Sunday after proper consultation with relevant stakeholders.

The problem i have with amotekun is Afenifere that want to hijack the structure. And some terrorist group that supporting the establishment of amotekun. The same kanu that gave order to his followers to kill Yoruba people same kanu declare support for operation amotekun, it look suspicious.

Why did the Oyoruba governors not seek legislature backing from their respective state assemblies when setting up the vigilante movement?

Malami will argue that Sharia and Hisbah came about through legislation by the state assemblies.

Are the current crop of Oyoruba governors so daft not to know that laws created at state level can not be overruled by the FG?

Why did Malami not declare Fayose's anti grazing bill and the security outfit he setup to enforce the law illegal?

Yaribanza, your APC governors are mocking you and were only using this Amotekun as political leverage. They are not interested nor concerned about your safety.

Where are the cows

They should extend Amotekun to the Yoruba parts of Kogi and Kwara state. Why exclude them from the Amotekun just because of geopolitical classification
The major route from south west to Abuja ( Kabba-Obajana road in Kogi state ) is now kidnappers and armed robbers den. We need Amotekun on this particular route.

Amotekun has come to stay!

Amotekun security model will be extended to all Yorùbá land outside Southwest region but it must work within the south-west first

This said extension is exactly what's scares the north to their marrow

In all honesty, the new security organization is a nice proposal, but there are many unanswered questions.

The Fulani hegemony agenda has come to bite the dullard-in-chief;the worst bigot that has ever led Nigeria.
How?
The bigot presidency know that once they approve Amotekun either formally by attending it's inauguration or by keeping quiet;they would have no basis to oppose the formation of other regional security outfits.
That of Southeast,SS,NC will definitely follow,even if out of sheer showmanship by the governors or not to be seen as being outdone by the SW governors.
Before you know it, regionalism becomes full fledged and regional security later state police outfits come to stay.
This is what they fear,but this is the Karma that comes when a president pursues ethnic agenda above national agenda.

This is getting interesting. My prayer is that the Yoruba's will stand their ground and let the fg do their worst.
Remember their tool of oppression which is the army has other ethnic nationality in it and am 100% sure they will not be fighting on the side of Nigeria army against the Yoruba nation.
Stand your ground and see to it that you achieve your freedom.
