...we ran an open and transparent recruitment process that culminated in announcing the 1,500 successful candidates' names in October 2020.

That's the difference between Lagos and other states in the south west, Lagos will never make recruitment process transparent - CBD, Lastma, Neighbourhood, KAI, all their security agencies, even this Amotekun. You just see guys in uniforms all over. Those jobs are for the party's 'good boys'.

If there is something I give to SW, it is the ability of their leaders to change inorder to address the issue on ground and their patience.
As for Ndigbo. Make una dey there dey look like mumu while PDP is wasting our future and preparing to rape us for the second time.
North has hisbah, SW mustered the courage and established Amotekun. What does SE has? Nothing because most of her states are run by PDP which is headed by Uche Secondus from Ogoni and controlled by Wike an Ikwerre man.
Any SE state under PDP are slaves. Simple as that.
Kudos to the Yoruba nation

they always want to cause division among the Southerners. We won't fall for it

Same thought also

rawtouch:

I admire the Yoruba,look at what our useless Igbo politicians are doing.

Speech at the Passing Out Parade of the Oyo State Security Network Agency codenamed Amotekun

When the story of the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun is told, it will be on record that it was officially launched on January 9, 2020. However, the Amotekun journey began earlier. In July 2019, the six states of the southwest, namely Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo States, agreed to set up this outfit.

Amotekun is indeed a first of its kind security agency because it is a regional security outfit initiated by one of Nigeria's six geopolitical zones.

History will also state that the headquarters is here in Oyo State. Since its founding, we have been taking steps to ensure that the security outfit kicks off operations. In March 2020, the Oyo State House of Assembly passed the Oyo State Security Network Agency Bill 2020, which I signed into law a few days later.

Although COVID-19 and other logistical issues delayed the recruitment process, we ran an open and transparent recruitment process that culminated in announcing the 1,500 successful candidates' names in October 2020. Shortly after that, their training began in the first week of November. Today we are here to witness the passing out parade of the pioneer members of the Amotekun Corps.

Security has always been an issue close to my heart. While on the campaign trail, I spoke about how we could tackle insecurity in Oyo State. We outlined clear plans in our manifesto, the Roadmap to Accelerated Development in Oyo State 2019-2023. And so, when we came into office, we went ahead to make security one of the pillars of our administration.

Our actions have been based on the fact that if our state is insecure, we cannot attract investment, whether foreign or local. So far, we have supported our federal security outfits, who do their best to protect our people. We provided them with communication gadgets and patrol vehicles. More recently, we requested for and established just this past May 2020, the Police Mobile Force 72 Squadron at Ago-Are and presented them with patrol vehicles for the outfit's operations.

But as I have argued on various fora, for governors to really play the role of Chief Security Officers of their states, state policing is the way forward. I am confident that someday, we will get enough support at the national level to achieve that constitutional review.

But, for now, we will settle for the next best thing.

The Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Amotekun, is an independent outfit. Members will answer to the state governors, but they will be working with the federal security agencies.

Some of the primary functions of the Amotekun Corps as authorised by law include: Collaborating with and assisting the Nigeria Police and other security agencies in gathering information. They will be involved in crime, the investigation of crime, arrest, and prosecution of persons suspected of kidnapping, terrorism, destruction of livelihood, criminal damage to property, cultism, highway robbery, and any other illegal activities.

They will also be involved in routine day and night patrols on major roads and remote areas. Members of the corps will be drafted to all the 351 wards in Oyo State. They will be our own community police so that their presence will be felt everywhere. This ensures that offenders are quickly identified, arrested, registered, and promptly handed over to the nearest police station or post. As I said during one of my speeches following the End SARS protests, this is one outfit that I can boldly say hold me responsible for the actions of the members.

Therefore, let me state to you 1,500 pioneers of the Amotekun Corps that you must remain excellent examples in service. You are to work for the people. You are not called to harass or intimidate the people. Instead, exhibit the highest level of professionalism in the discharge of your duties. Remember that there are limits to your authority, and always follow directives from the chain of command.

We have appointed two qualified men as chairman and commandant of the Amotekun Corps, the persons of Retired General Ajibola Kunle Togun and Retired Colonel Olayanju Olayinka. We also have other eminent persons on the board. I am confident that under them, the Amotekun Corps will live up to their objectives.

As I said during the official launch of this outfit in January 2020, our regional integration, through Amotekun, should be seen in one light. We are coming together to fight a common enemy. That enemy is not Nigeria; the enemies are the elements among us and their affiliates who are determined to cause commotion within our states' borders and threaten our peaceful coexistence.

And on this note, I declare the Oyo State Security Network Agency codenamed Amotekun operational.

But seyi makinde is also PDP!,look the problem with igbos is themselves leave PDP out of it,what has APGA done so far?,

This amotekun uniform make sense die. their aims and objectives make sense too, unlike our fellow stupid iskaba in the north that are destroying people's business. Awon werey instead of them to tell Nigeria brewery, international brewery and Guinness brewery to stop producing bear for the Northerners.

Awon werey in human skin like fela sang. Abami EDA forsee stupid people in the north

muykem:
Seyi makinde looks like idiami of Uganda.

More like Mobutu Sese Seko of former Zaire, now DR Congo.

Fathai:
they always want to cause division among the Southerners. We won't fall for it

THEY ARE MANY HERE MASQUERADING AS SOUTHERNERS JUST TO CAUSE DIVISION AMONGST US. HISBAH IS GOOD FOR NORTH, WHILE AMOTEKUN AND OTHER LOCAL SECURITY OUTFITS DOWN-SOUTH IS A THREAT AGAINST THE NORTH



WE MUST BREAK THAT CAUSE

Deepthoughts:
But seyi makinde is also PDP!,look the problem with igbos is themselves leave PDP out of it,what has APGA done so far?,

You seriously expect me to answer such stupid question?
Which party turned Anambra to the third most viable state in Nigeria despite having no oil?
Don't quote me again and ask me rubbish questions

Your reason is daft. So you are one of the idiots that think APC is different from PDP?

Or are you just an immoral pay per post agent who intentionally makes sensless comments?
