The Northern
Youths Council of Nigeria on Thursday, January 9, has kicked against the
formation of ‘Operation Amotekun’ in the Southwest geopolitical zone of the
country.
According to
the NYCN, the security outfit inaugurated in Ibadan on Thursday is the
“military wing” of the Oodua Peoples Congress.
It added
that the newly established security outfit is in the league of the proscribed
Independent Peoples of Biafra.
National
President of NYCN, Alhaji Isah Abubakar, in a statement issued in Kaduna, urged
the President, Muhammadu Buhari, not to allow what he described as
“unconstitutionality” to prevail.
Abubakar
said, “Amotekun Group in Southwest is OPC Military wing in disguise and in the
same league with the proscribed IPOB. The President must not allow this unconstitutionality
to prevail.
“The
Southwest Governors must desist from backing nefarious groups such as this one.
“Amotekun is
a threat to peace and national security and an attempt to jeorpadize Nigeria’s
sovereignty.
“Amotekun is
no different from Boko Haram and IPOB Movement in their formative stages.
“Nigerian
Police, DSS and Army shouldn’t take this lightly with the governors of
Southwest.
“The
National Security Adviser should promptly take steps that will avert the
looming threat to our national security that is about to be threatened by
Southwest governors, OPC and others,” Abubakar said.
