Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin has lambasted Miyetti Allah over its comment on Amotekun.

Odumakin said; “Miyetti Allah now owns the Presidency which they can give as gift to who they want and deny who they choose? What insolence?”

“Cow herders threatening a people that produced the first lawyer in 1879 because a lawyer who doesn’t know the law is overreaching himself? Can they go and tell Yoruba in the Benin Republic such idiocy?”

“It is now a crime that we inhabit the same country with them? If Yoruba would be colonised, is it by those we should employ on our ranches? To hell with their presidency if the condition for it is that we must allow them to continue to waste the lives of our people.”

“Who told these people Yoruba cannot opt for self-determination and have our own president? If they see the protection of our lives as politics, we are definitely in a wrong and impossible country.”

For those who don’t know, this was what the National Secretary of Miyetti Allah group, Alhassan Saleh said;

“The entire North is suspicious of the outfit because of the OPC experience under Obasanjo. The motive of the security outfit is not clear to us.”

“Our concern is that the outfit will be deployed against innocent herders. A section of the South West political class is in alliance with the Biafrans that are calling for the balkanization of the country.”

“We actually see the outfit as an Nnamdi Kanu wing in the South West. Miyetti Allah is totally against the creation of ethnic paramilitary security outfits like this because of our sad experiences in Benue, Plateau and Zamfara.”

“The South West will definitely lose political support from the north if the continue along this sectional trajectory.”

“The alliance that produced Buhari/Osinbajo is actually good for stability of democracy and our concern is that this new approach by South West governors and opinion leaders will destroy the alliance.”

“It’s better we express our concerns now instead of resorting to self help.”
