Tinubu is right, regional Militia is dangerous, moreover there are no constitutional entities as regions in Nigeria . States can by legistion form a neighborhood support for the Federal security services.

LegendHero:
What is the noise about?

Tinubu never condemned Amotekun and he is just offering advice to the SW governor on how to make it more effective.

What the bleep is wrong with Nigerians and why can you not see he is on the right side?

That’s how an elder statesman should talk.

.

Most of these illiterates like beating drums of war, once it start, they will be the first to seek refugee status in Benin Republic & Cameroon.

They should ask about 1st Biafra war, the Belligerents are history today, over 3 million lives where wasted. During the 2nd Biafra the leader ran away like a mouse, again just like the 1st war. Nigerians we need the wisdom of our elders in this trying time. God bless Nigeria.

Another reason I respect Tinubu. He stated the obvious facts:

1. Amotekun must stay, modifications will be needed to make it more effective.
2. Governors erred by not consulting the AGF.
3. AGF erred by condemning the initiative instead of dialogue.

The man has spoken and spoken well.
Some wailers will not like this, they expect everyone to be unguided and illogical like loud mouth lunatic Fani crack head Kayode.

Not unexpected submission from BAT. This must have been a very difficult time for him to react, with respect to the pressure, coming from the media.

The fact that he's reacting now makes his position inconsequential to the scheme of things. The Omoluabi Governors (excluding his clique-Dapo,Sanwo and Oyetola) aren't backing down. Those who matter have made their position known and it's no going back on AMOTEKUN

We move!

Don't be myopic and emotional about it.
Good and wise leaders don't blindly take sides, they look for what is wrong and address it. He faulted the two sides and also approve Amotekun while stating what system should be employed for a viable operation of the program.

This is not about taking sides, this is about making this right.

He already to sides by trying to be neutral on the matter....his friends in 2015 said (if any yoruba vote for GEJ; they would be bastards).
Today we know who the bastards are

De-regionalise Amotekun.

Pass a bill to your state assemblies to legalise it.

Inform the AGF for information sake.

Anything else

Talk of playing politics with security....

So you know Central command doesn't make things work effectively? And you are not supporting restructuring

No matter how you try, Tinubu supporters cannot winggle their way out of this.

Anyone that can throw his own mother under the bus to capture Lagos, would drive a hot shaft through his mother.

He worked with Igbo to sell out the Speaker to Tambuwal.

He sent Dawudu to his grave in regret for supporting him instead of Funso Williams.

Just wait, you have not seen the last of Yekini Amoda Ogunlere from Iragbiji, Osun State.

This can only be a statement from a drunk and hapless person.

Tinubu was neither here nor there, approbrating and reprobating at same time

The SW governors should have meet with the AGF, before the launch of Amotekun and the Job description of the officers. The federal govt has a plan for state police. This measure will tackle the insecurity again would be taking care of indirectly by FGN

My opinion though

No to bullies, states can be bullied; but a collection of states cant be bullied....when Lagos state took money and invested in jigawa state for rice cultivation it was cool...today states want to collaborate on insecurity its turn to regional militia...

Tinubu is a wise man.


He shouldn't let IPOB manipulate him. He should be firm in his decision.

jayfolarin:
Tinubu disappoints me sha. He really isn't coming across as progressive as I had been led to believe.

He was a different guy in nadeco. Now he just wants to be politically correct.

Dissapointing

This is still the Tinubu of Nadeco, straight to the point and never taking sides because of considerably flaws in human nature.

A good leader don't blindly take sides, they address what's wrong and approve what's right. In the statement, Tinubu proposed a better system for the operation Amotekun, he said instead of regional control, it should be state control.

As a politician and a Political leader, you should expect him to be an internal operator rather than a public one. There is still an iota of posibility that he was fully aware of Amotekun before the launching, but only playing the game of politics with the north on this matter, a person who has a presidential ambition is expected to be like that.

Nonetheless, your expectations of him to take sides in support of Amotekun is presumably ethnical in nature and needs to be checked.

As far as I'm concerned, the approach he took is the best a wise leader should take.

Racoon:
Neither here or there.Tinubu you remain an irredeemable coward.Keep on sacrificing the survival of a region because of political crumbs.

on the other thread you hail him now you are condeming him

You too you are confuse

bonnyhope:


That's yoruba man for you

Always sitting on the fence

That is playing politics with security, saw this coming...he forgot how they sold abiola out...same way he would sell himself out

I will assume you are like a 16year old boy that need not to be argued with but rather be enlightened.

In other to get over this with you, kindly go through my first message for a proper understanding.

Malcolm123:
buh y na IPOB dey cry pass on top Tinubu message ..even Yoruba no vex

if only ochuku abi wetin de him name ....get half of Tinubu diplomacy skills ....by now SE population will be more than NW population ....buh he decided to waste 3 million lives (by now the lives go don multiply to 12m)

Stop saying nonsense

Tinubu get sense pass anything...

He is very critical with his words

Righteousness89:
I don't seem to understand..

Is Asiwaju Talking with both sides of His mouth?

It's Highly dangerous to be in the Middle..

He can't take sides yet. Bibi is yet to make his stance known so Tinubu would be weary of making his stance known

Regional is the problem, that's what everyone is complaining about, it can't be a regional police force, let it be state by state

Just playing safe

sir, we have two sides here Good and Evil if he can't support either Good or Evil then he is a bad leader
Is either a leader chooses to do good or evil
And then face it's repercussions

AtikuNetwork:


The Op's updated version from Punch can be misleading because it does not include the complete text of Tinubu's submission, rather it only removes inflammatory aspect and amplifies them for sentimental reaction purposes. The full text of Tinubu's release is on the nation website. It is longer and more complete than the Punch released versions.



https://thenationonlineng.net/breaking-finally-tinubu-clears-the-air-on-amotekun/

This is more like it.... I wonder why some pple see tinubu's ambition as their bane. The man has said the truth and solution to the impasse but the trouble makers and short sighted pple won't see it that way. He talked about the importance of Amotekun and also said it's functionality will hugely depend on carrying the attorney general along. How else were they suppose to carry the AGM along if not by engagement and discussions. Tinubu remain the wisest of them all jare. He already has my vote come 2023. Funny thing is those insulting him now will benefit more from his presidency. Its on record that it was his govt that elevated pple from other states, especially the east, to positions of authority in Lagos state more than any other administration.

Small children forum = small children comments.

IPOB member spotted lol
we ar waiting for Tinubu reaction yen yen yen

dey won't face their potopoto region and wheelbarrow sharing government for poverty redistribution

This man can't withstand one blow of mine... But he can scatter Yoruba ppl with his mouth and his eyes looking like I don't see u

Amotekun is purely political. If d police n army still fall our hands, den who wat difference would dey make. We should all work together to make Nigeria a better and kept aside personal ambition, who dat one ep.

Yoruba god has spoken
He has sold his people for his 2023 ambition
