Seyi Makinde Visits Obasanjo, Says AGF Lacks Power To Declare Amotekun Illegal by Ogbomoso17(m): 7:25pm On Jan 15, 2020
*’Malami can’t just wake up and make his own laws’

Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, has said the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), lacks the power to declare the South West security outfit, Operation Amotekun, as illegal.
Makinde said though the AGF may interpret and advise the President if there are legal issues, he is not empowered to make his own laws.
He spoke in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, during his visit to a former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on Wednesday.

The governor was accompanied by his Special Adviser on Security Matters and former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni; the Chairman, Advisory Council, Senator Hosea Agboola; and former Secretary to the Oyo State Government, Chief Layiwola Olakojo, among other aides.

Fielding questions from reporters, Makinde, who stated that he was in Abeokuta to greet Obasanjo for the New Year, frowned at Malami’s position on Operation Amotekun.

The governor insisted that the AGF does not have the powers to label the regional security outfit illegal.

He, however, stated that Malami had yet to officially communicate to him on the matter.

It's good as you have made the AGF known what the constitution stipulated as regards his office.You have really punched him to a deserved corner.

If Amotekun is illegal, what about Hisbah police? These ones have been operating in the North since they declared sharia. My fear about Amotekun is abuse by politicians and possibly going out of control to constitute a regional menace like Boko haram. Methinks that state police would have been more appropriate and accountable.

The AGF is right and Babanginda was also right.

Everyone knows Malami is fronting for some people.

It is either Malami or the people he's speaking for, speak up so we can know where to begin.

What stops Malami from contacting the governors (or approaching the presidency to contact the governors) about the supposed illegality of their action, instead of going to the news.

Or is the news now the official route of speaking with governors?

Ametokun should be legal in as much as Hisbah is legal and radical herdsmen (now stylized as "bandits"wink move around with assault rifles.

Malami is a Fulani and Afonjas must never disobey their Hausa/Fulani Masters.

OK let's see who cries last.

Be warned.

Malami isn't the law. He just aired his unsolicited opinion.

AGF is only making the warring factions to come together in one voice, both opposition and ruling party are in support of the security outfits.

Now Southwest is waking up to rebuff the tyranny of the power to be in the land. Southeast issue will be a child play if these people step on the cobra tail. They may think the leaders in South West hold no water but they fail to understand that these are the most intelligent and cosmopolitan set of people in Nigeria. We just don't bark, we also live by our words and integrity. No external forces can stop Amoteku. This project will stand.

Amotekun has come to stay in the South West...

Security of lives and property in the South West is Paramount and if the Federal government cannot guarantee that then we do it ourself....

The Fulanization agenda which Obasanjo and Nnamdi Kanu warned us about has finally hit home'in the SW.
I wonder what the reaction would have been like if this move is from the Igbos such as Operation Amuta-ekwe, there would have been a lot of articles praising the AGF and telling the Igbos to go to court grin

You will see headlines on Nation: Igbos want to destroy the unity of Nigeria. MURIC
AMUTA-EKWE: Nnamdi Kanu wants to destabilize Buhari Govt. Punch.
Yoruba Obas warn Igbos against bringing Amutaekwe to SW. TVC
