The statement reads, “Those claiming that this limited, inoffensive addition to security threatens the Republic have taken themselves upon a madcap excursion.
“Question those in favour of Amotekun. Most have but the vaguest notion about it. They know few details yet vigorously attribute to its opponents the most negative intentions. Ask those who oppose Amotekun. They are equally ignorant of its provisions. They oppose the initiative not on its merits but merely because it was proposed by their political opponents or because they don’t see an avenue for personal gain from it.
“Seeking to fulfil their mandates by helping protect their people, the governors of the Southwest collectively established a program to buttress existing security mechanisms. Seeking to protect the constitution as best he could, the Attorney-General offered his opinion on what he believed the governors have sought to do. No one can blame either party for seeking to fulfil what they genuinely see as their public duty.
Abioo I pray amotekun come to stay
Who is Tinubu pls?
Even he say something or not who he help
Tunubu why silence before now? People see you as a leader, but coming out so late now means nothing to us, we know who is against us and know who are for us thank you sir for voicing out late wedontneedyourcomment
Are rampaging herdsmen a threat to national security? Bombocl**!
Some people still live in the past,opinion leaders landed us here,even a mad man has thought.Wake up! This is 21st century.
We refuse to understand English....the man no say pimp about Amu eke. Pls next topic
I hope he will support the establishment of similar security outfits in other regions of Nigeria.
He deftly played politics with the issue. Apparently, he didn't want to be seen by the Cabal to be unduly taking the side of his Yoruba kinsmen. That would be disastrous for his political ambition.
Yes Amotekun is not treat to National security ,I don't know what's wrong with Nigeria President PMB
We can't tolerate fencist. To hell with his statement. AMỌTẸKUN Is here for good
Amotekun has come to stay
Amotekun is no threat to national security in this Federal Republic Of Hausa Leaders We can't keep watching while people keep getting hurt in one way or the other
Thank God you finally make a statement by proving most people wrong that you not a betrayer of your tribe because of political ambitious
I just hope he is not saying this just to please his political party or to please the southwest governors and Yoruba land in general, so that people won't say he is being silent on Amotekun issue. I hope he won't betray his word in the future.
after so much criticism by the yoruba's
it's time for state/private policing The Nigerian Police can't do much as we expected they don't have funds to police Nigeria.
He made a very useful point.. Thats expected from a leader.. He took his time to review it and came out with a solid point..
Na mugu him be
His father
He has now drawn his affiliation to APC along ethnic lines. PMB and his fulani cohorts maybe planning a reaction to this statement
Yes oooo
Belated and of little or no value
Nah who be tinubu? Buhari houseboy
Some politicians have been given the go ahead to bear their mind on the security issue. -Fixed.
It is better to b silent than to take away our presidential seat 💺, if he supports Amotekun openly 9ja will b on d brim of disintegration If he doesn't support SW and SS will go against him Wise leader he is 👍👍👍👍
Always speaking like they are playing Marco Polo in his head twist and turns never straight forward.
They will never get the INFO
Thank you Jagaban, been waiting for you to clear the Air
That is why they call him 'Asiwaju' always in the forefront dropping it like Microsoft! Can you see the way he analysed the issue & how he acknowledged the mistakes of the SW Governors for not carrying the Attorney General along while they were planning the whole scheme! WiseMan
discas2001 Please you must analyze this
Maturity
Good talk
🤣
His lawyer did a good job.
Reading, don't spoil my chance abeg.🤣🤣🤣 Amotekun without sophisticated weapons, and yet the marauders fear them most. The beginning of wisdom, Amotekun.
E nver dey SAP thor .......the can't stop Nigeria from Becoming better !
United States of Nigeria will be great if we understand real federalism and practice it now. Even omotekun will have on by yesterday.
Tinubu is a politician. We understand mr Oga! Amotekun has come to stay!
All na for 2023 we know your motive you not on Southwest side
Can't really decide this
Can anybody explain this man grammar to me clearly? He stands as lawyer now or justice?
What’s amotekun?
🤮
Baba sat on a politically neutral fence, neither here nor there, and that alone says a lot. 'And to those who wld choose d safety of inaction over d danger of taking a stand, I have this to say: You bloody cowards. May you have d world dt you deserve' - MG
I can't believe I just wasted my mb.. This man is so selfish, seriously eyeing 2023 even at the expense of his own people he can't speak the truth. Lives are now been politicized, so painful.
If former VP Atiku can make his stand clear, I don't know why Asiwaju should be diplomatic...protect ur people first
Yoruba people see your leader! This one have decided to sit on the fence.
So now, he really want North to trust him by this not here nor there statement 😀😀😀😀
A REAL STATEMAN
HE Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a great Political Player. Coining the topic like this for home backing without losing 2023 grips marvellous me
Finally. And he’s totally right!
The COWARD has spoken.
We hear you!!!
Virtually he stood on the fence and is shameful
Y won't him old chimporzum
Right!
Words of wisdom
Leadership is all about existential intelligence, effectual exposition, and circumstantial prowess. I'm always proud of BAT. With BAT i stand.
Fencist 😂
Tinubu is obviously in a tight corner. He chose his words carefully in order not to offend the FG and his kinsmen. I'm here waiting to see how it turns out.
Remember the blue print of your king makers.
He does not want to hurt the west or the North(federal government) because he needs both of them. Keep him where he wants, you'll know where he really is. Just like Buhari who is for everybody yet for nobody. Now we know where he is.
My only fear about this Amotekun is on the long run
Nigerians and mediocrity, celebrating the same men that sold their future.. Smh
Double speak
Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Tinubu took out time today in his response to Amotekun discuss to prove he is the real bat. I hope you know the Animal/Bird called bat. That creature can't be called anụ énú or anụ anị.
This speech is a goldmine for Critical Discourse Analysis student. Verbose but with vague, equivocal expressions. Neither here nor there. Pandering to everybody from both sides of the divide. Politricks at its peak. 🙌
Last time this man held an elective post was in 2017, he’s not even holding a post in his party, y’all claim he’s irrelevant, doesn’t speak for the whole of the SW but you patiently waited for his opinion like your lives depended on it. He’s wiser than your generations combined
This man is just beating around the bush. He ended up not saying anything about Amotekun
Politrickcians.... 🤣😂😅
This man is a real chameleon. He knows what he wants and hence decided to stay neutral.
This is getting interesting.
He spoke well! Itemizing the flaws in the formation of Amotekun, suggesting how it can work by giving each state the autonomy of operation rather than regional control. Diagnosing the vulnerabilities of a system doesn’t mean you don’t support the system, its OFFENSIVE SECURITY
He is neither Cold nor hot, sitting on the face. What a shame!! Selfish ambition ruins sincerity.
theflutterwave Hello, There has been a concurrent removal of funds in my account after few weeks of completed trnascation with theflutterwave please I demand a look into this and an immediate reversal. Pls help retweet make we no jam agbako Tinubu
Expecting press release on his take on Amotekun
Story for the gods
Amaka_Ekwo Buhari is a threat to national unity
Finally
I don't understand why some people are crying more than the bereaved. Although, I understand if you can't find wisdom in what he just said. To you, things are either white or black.
Tinubu u remain an irredeemable ewu.Kip on sacrificin d survival of a region becos of political crumbs.He is vry self centred despite riding on d idea of d leada of d Yoruba people to political prominence in Nigeria,he has nw turned against the vry idea he claims to represent.
Is there a United Nigeria? Pls I'm asking for a friend.
Where is Nigeria intelligence? Vehicles were bought, personnel recruited, trained and Amotekun was launch and none of these security agencies got a glimpse / hint about it! Surely, we need another and serious security agency, if not but to compliment existing force.
I don't seem to understand.. Is Asiwaju Talking with both sides of His mouth? It's Highly dangerous to be in the Middle..
Politicians...this man doesn't want to offend any party...smart though, he did not wait for the ultimatum to expire...this man needs his people (SW) Amotekun is here to stay.
Thanks sir, but give them your unalloyed support to secure life and properties in Odua land.
Why has he kept mute for long?. He doesn't behave as Asiwaju at all
2023 ?
Lol. At last
I love philosophy and logic... When you make statements like this sir, it's meant for those who have ears.
He should keep quiet
We too dey overrate this people
ANA-AKO-GHERISI
He didn't speak up before probably because of his 2023 ambition
_Habidiz
So you can talk on this issue? Useless man
The squeaking cat in Bourdilon is caught between ambition and love for the lives of his people. Much as he tried to hide his morbid love for the former, it is all over him
God bless you Sir,I thank God that you finally disgraced your accusers with this tweet. Many have accused you unnecessarily. I knew you back then in Lagos that you were no nonsense man. Pls keep it up Sir.
'Malign intent', 'madcap excursion', bla bla bla. So much big grammar, zero point. Pick a side, mba. 😒
Wao!!’ Jagaban is breaking ranks with his Fulani allies. What happened? Have they told him to forget his ambition already
To my best understanding, he sat on the fence
This is fake news! Period!! 😑
AsiwajuTinubu keep talking miyatti allah has already threant not to give una power come 2023. Fulani people we go give una this war you are glamouring 4. Do you think Northerner has won any war in Nigeria? Forget Biafra war bcos we help una but if una want war we are ready
“madcap excursion”.... 😂🤣 Forget Jagaban is a politician 💪🏾
Tinubu is neither here nor there from his reply.
Baba no give straight answer. He was just speaking grammar. Bet why sir 😂😂😂
Tinubu is on the fence 😂
Now his hitherto dumb minions can begin to talk. Again, thank you Arakunrin Akeredolu for speaking out for SW when Tinubu's boys were dumb.
Only Nigerians who actually wrote their WAEC English Comprehensive exam passage & passed, without any machinery, will only know that Tinubu hasn’t said anything going by his statement on Amotekun. With all the grammars, he wasn’t here nor there
Igba yi laaro 🧐!!!
No more hiding place for Bourdillion landlord.😎
Hmmmm
Anyone who can read simple English comprehensive passage and digest it easily will know that Bola Ahmed Tinubu hasn’t said anything on Amotekun. Yet, a lot of educated people are celebrating this political statement which does not specify his Yes or No to Amotekun. What a country
It's a regional nation.
That's good
He wrote so much he ended up saying nothing.
”I have been wondering since over what some of us are actually celebrating in Tinubu’s political statement of neutrality. He hasn’t said anything going by his unnecessary semantics noises and innuendos. He is neither here nor there. What a National leader indeed!” Mobilepunch
Too late..
...and it's BREAKING as in breaking!
This statement is so vaque that I didn't understand his stand. Bola Tinubu seems to be standing in the middle if my brain guides me well. What a clever man! He no wan offend anyone as a desperado Presidential candidate.
Yoruba are more united with one voice than any other regions they achieved their plans at will...Amotekun has brought peace in the region.
From what I read, he is neither here nor there.
You guys know how to frustrate OfficialAPCNg and MBuhari Imagine: National Leader of All Progressives Congress. I thought he's just a party member?
So as a leader of the region, was BAT not consulted by the Govs? Hence his decision to take his time to form an opinion.
I admire his political wisdom. He knows why it was formed. Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you our 2023 president. When you are betting with me, makes sure its in pounds oh..
As far as I can understand, this man is a coward... If it could take you this long to come out, I expect you to be 100% Pragmatic for every right thinking Nigerians to know your stand. Amótèkùn is here to stay.
Look at how he ended up saying nothing, busy beating around without condemning or supporting what should be condemned or supported. Simple question: “Sir, excusing the hasty design of Amotekun, if corrected, do you support its creation to be legalized at the houses of assembly?
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
Amotekun is a bigger threat to our national security. The Governors are trying to join forces ahead of 2023. Incase anything backfires, the so called Nigeria can be split into what every enemy of state has been wishing for. I repeat it is a threat to national security.
hope is doesn't become a bandit faction likes of OPC? If the sole reason for is establishment is to curb the ongoing insurgency in the country, without disturbing the peace of the community nor perpetrating illicit crime on the indigenes, it ok.
I wonder how many times the speech writers had to write and rewrite this speech. Even if those supporting Amotekun have no other reason, the mere fact that it seeks to protect lives and properties was the the perfect reason.
This man is still on the fence jare He didn't swing to any side
Meanwhile it is wise for Jagaban to have taken his time to dissect the matter, giving his political ambition. Sometimes, it is better to keep your mouth shut and appear foolish than to open it wide and remove all doubt.
His presidential hopes are now officially declared over by the cabal. However, a right political call.
And he spoke well! Amotekun doesn't have to be a regional force. No need for that bureaucracy. Should be domiciled in each state.
Once the governors have deemed it necessary to carry the Nigerian Police along, Malami should have gone to court for a relief instead of throwing tantrums!
Anybody that opposes Amotekun cannot get required votes from SW. You've spoken well sir
Tinubu breaks silence ?. You should rather say “Tinubu has been giving clearance by the Cabal to make revised comments on Amotekun”
Baba sidon for fence ni o.
Smh
Good one from Jagaban
The malam from oduduwa has spoken!
See you see EFCC!
After going through this piece, I must say Tinubu is a very smart and intelligent man. I had to read some lines more than once in order to really understand. His response is superb.
You have actually told the Meyetti Allah to give the Presidency to any other region. What a loss!
Tinubu is under fire before he breaks silence... Never you reinforce failure. Tinubu is a dangerous hypocrite... Don't be deceived by word. Greedy man!!!
Rubbish answer. Yes or No and you are there being diplomatic. How do you handle a case of people dying because of poor security on part of the govt. Does it call for a diplomatic answer or hitting the nail on the head?
All this grammar and theatrics, please someone kindly summarise. Is he in support of amotekun, or all that press release was about himself
Someone has mastered the art of fencism...
Nice shot, now you have woken
This baboon is a confused man. Trying to sit on the fence when he is suppose to take a stand against those bloodsuckers.
It seem that most people didn't go through the PR by Tinubu, he is never here non there. We are not dialog with anybody. Amotekun has come to stay. To hell with presidency, Tinubu should go and be president of Fulani and cows
Because of 2023, baba cannot take a stand. O ma ga o
This man is just beating around the bush,, after reading his statement I noticed how cunning he is... Baba is sitting on the fence... He can't hit the nail on the head,,, yes or no simple,, was careful not offend them cow group
Presidential ambition nkor? Anyway nice one.

Truly don't understand all this english can someone please tell me Jagaban stand , AMOTEKUN or those stupid COWS?
Tinubu is speaking from both sides of his mouth. Sell out crook, keep playing politics at the detriment of your people.
The fear of Amotekun is the beginning of wisdom
He took no sides.That is the problem with our politician. His ambition is more valuable than the lives of the people whom he will govern if he is to be the President. This is gross negligence of duty..I can't say much, he has Mobile policemen and thugs to his advantage.
This man is pure politician! He refuse to speak before protecting his 2023 ambition even if it will not bcm reality and now he decided to speak to also gain his people support.
I stand by u
Nwoke a rere ndị ya
This man is a clever con; he is neither here or there. Stick with what you believe in even if it hurt.
Too much English without saying his position. Neither here nor there.
Oga has finally spoken,we are now waiting for the result in Abj
Reading the whole script. I can deduce that he wasn't direct with his answer. He only attack his opponents that wanna drag his utterance unto the mud reason why he was silent. I think he gave no reasonable reply to the Amotekun me,this isn't a Yes or No
He must have been cleared to speak.
dondekojo Coming from a Political Figure whom His Wife another Great Political Figure was caught on National TV Threatening Igbos and Other Tribes in Lagos and Beyond. In Her Words, “IGBOS WE IN LAGOS CANNOT TRUST YOU PEOPLE ANYMORE” Such Statements are more Divisive than Amotekun it self.
Hypocrites man
This man did not actually say anything in this statement oooo, or am I wrong
For supporting amotekun, I will sarcastically delist from 2023.
Will a man fight the resolve of his own people? That will be tantamount to self immolation! Tinubu had no other option than to throw his weight behind his own people by declaring that Amotekun' is NOT A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY.
Maybe Tinubu has woken up.
Fencists statement
Tinubu has been a smart guy from the stomach
Loathe or Love Tinubu, He is a wise man. Every piece of this statement was filled with wisdom... Supporters and Opposers alike of Amotekun will come off feeling like they won after reading this peace, Yet in all Jagaban has neither supported nor opposed it! Tricky!
Lol Nonsense man. There must have be a threat from his people because I know he will like to sacrifice his people for his ambition
Oga Mr Tinubu, you should have maintained the silence instead of sitting on the fence. Saying Malami was right and SW governors are right or that both have good intentions is a politically motivated statement u just finished condemning.

So he is the one deciding for SW
Finally
Because of Selfish interest that's why he silent all these while what happen to Saraki at kwara state will surely happen to Tinubu in Lagos is just a matter of time
I commend his writer.. Carefully written, but it doesn't change the fact that he's trying to please the illiterate cow breeders...
The man I s very very smart.. He's just sitting on the fence. Staking 50/50 on both side.
Ewoooo! They've told him he cannot be President come 2023. Of course, he won't Tinubu, the traitor
He just woke up!! Shiioorrr.
The finesse and adroitness in the way he approaches political matters is one key reason why he is present today at the apogee of political stratosphere of Nigeria. Tinubu is a sage. The first step to winning a war is to notice the smartness of your enemy. He is not 4rm Southeast!
Just talks no action
jagaban himsef .a leader who talks at the due time and make sense as such.
Lol... After the water has settled...
Tinubu could not hide anymore
Tinubu ! Tinubu! Tinubu ! Talk talk talk. Baba has spoken.
Tinubu finally have my respect... At least for now.
This our politician ehn? I know it will come to this especially those inThe south. As far as am concern,he has not said anything regarding this issue.i see this statement as being careful not to provoke the north cos of his political ambition in 2023.
Better
He would say that, wouldn't he? Tinubu was the moving force behind Amotekun all along. The APC governors in SW Nigeria were handpicked by him and they are fronting for him. Long story short: Tinubu is exploiting tribal sentiments to secure power in 2023. Simple as.
D long awaited speech is here....Babadontalkatlast.
Kudos to you. A lot of thinking must have been applied to these statements. The response sounds presidential and statesman like. Let MBuhari humble himself and learn from the proponents of Amotekun then we can move forward
Dear Asiwaju,you're indeed a born leader. I dope my hat for you sir. May you leave long to continually provide clear leadership to this nation
Amotekun is a creation of 5 APC govs and 1 PDP gov. Those who are trying to own it now can neither fund or legislate on it. I don't they will do this without the support of their regional party leaders.
If you actually read his statement. He was just being typical....on the fence.😂😂
Kini n so gan..🤷
The Jagaban worldwide has spoken, to help with wailers
Equally, I do not cow to the demands of those who press for me to make a premature statement on an important issue. Again, that is a game devised by those who care more about political cleverness than the quality of governance lolololol I like dz sha
Wise man Asiwaju.. God bless me with this kind of wisdom 🙏🏻
But you, our political elite, playing politics with our security and national unity are, Sir..
This is his first statement. The other news you say was not from a credible Newspaper
Reading this with a bucket of popcorn.
Now,it is confirmed, there is fire on the mountain.
So he has spoken
Bastard man
Now that Jagaban has spoken, watch out for press releases from his stooges (Dapo, Gboyega and Babajide). Àwọn bandwagon puppets. We already know those who have the interest of SW at heart and those being driven by personal ambitions.
The writer was very careful and modest yet very conscious of all the pitfalls towards the Nays and Yeahs. Statemen like positions are always too peaceful. Amotekun or no Amotekun nobody as sole right to trespass private property.
Lip service
Who cares? Without him or not, southwest is bigger than one man.... but him, oyetola and dapo we know where you guys stand...
__ukeme Jagaban had to choose the deep blue see
Amotekun not threat to National unity
So, he reversed self
Tinubu is playing hide and seek. The time of Afonja has since been gone from yorubaland.
After baba yaff hit the pole, let us be expecting from Oyetola, Dapo Abiodun and Sanwo Olu to pass ball
Social media called him out and he couldn't hide.. operation save my 2023 ambition 😀😀
The man only said is own opinion
The marriage we find our self as one Nigeria is not working.
For saying this, trust me efcc will reopen your case soon, this na setup
The guy English language no be here o! Excellent!❤❤❤
c4cornel
Punch and their headlines, someone is telling you in Queens English that he is sitting on the his throne, practicing 'balancing on the beam', blames Ayodele and Adamu, tells them they are both too young to see what his aged being is seeing. But he wouldn't talk for now.
Baba has spoken! Elderly wisdom from Jagaban Borgu!!
After thought!!! 😂 Baba is going back and forth all in the name of politics.
The bullion van has spoken
Hmmm
Finally he breaks his silence and am wondering what makes him silence
Finally.
Madam Remi has made Baba happy in a special way of late. Whatever you loose in the other room remains loose in the kitchen and the sitting room. Oya adjust your fìlà.
After baba av hit the pole, let us be expecting from Oyetola, Dapo Abiodun and Sanwo Olu to pass ball
Even if he thinks otherwise I still don't think his opinion matters. There's probably more to what he hasn't said than he has.
He can no longer hide AsiwajuTinubu
Thank God for people like seyi makinde,fani kayode, bola Ahmad tinubu, Time has expired, there Will noting like oba afonja,in The South West again.
Neither here nor there. Appeaser in Chief. The Headline helps in any case.
Were, o ti fa igbo e tan. The man has always been a thief and a traitor.
Okay
Make pressure no kill u in other to save face
Shey looto?
