Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation, Afenifere has berated Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore over the latter’s comment on the newly-launched Amotekun security outfit.
National Secretary of Miyetti Allah, Alhassan Saleh, had said that Amotekun could cost the South-West geopolitical zone the presidency in 2023.
Saleh also commended the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami for declaring the security outfit illegal. He added that Amotekun was not the solution to insecurity in the zone.
But reacting, National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin faulted the Fulani group’s assertion.
“Miyetti Allah now owns the Presidency which they can gift to who they want and deny who they choose? What insolence? Cowherders 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 Benin Republic such idiocy? It is now a crime that we inhabit the same country with them? If Yoruba would be conised, 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,” the Afenifere spokesman told Vanguard.
