‘We won’t back down’ – Afenifere fires back at Buhari govt for declaring Amotekun illegal

The Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, says contrary to Federal Government’s stance on the establishment of Amotekun security outfit by Southwest governors, the region won’t back down on the initiative.

He was reacting to a comment credited to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami that Amotekun was illegal.saying “The setting up of the paramilitary organization called ‘Amotekun’ is illegal and runs contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian law.” However, Odumakin in a statement said: “It’s unfortunate because after we saw a statement credited to Malami that he was misquoted, we thought that they are serious about resolving this matter. If they still insist that Amotekun is illegal, then it is clear that they are not interested in a negotiated settlement on this matter and they believe they can keep us as our masters.

Who appoint you oni yeye,better go and find job to do,fasoranti,okounromu,adebanjo and this yeye man are all from the same religion faith are you want to tell me that there is no qualified Muslim to be in afenifere.

Oponu ayirada, mr double mouth.

Terrorist government

People like him are imposing themselves on us Yoruba as a leader. Pls ask him who and when was he elected by the generality of Yoruba as a leader speaking on their behalf? He has arrogated so much importance and power to himself in the name of one Afenifere.

Mr. Odumakin is a bread and butter activist that should not be taken serious for anything. He is an enemy of this country under the disguise of Afenifere.

No going back ooo as this point in time...
