Tinubu’s comment on Operation Amotekun bilated – YCE

 

 

The Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE)  Thursday lashed out at the national leader of All Progressive Congress  (APC),  Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over his comment on the establishment of the South west joint security outfit ,”Operation Amotekun”, 

Addressing a press briefing in Ibadan, YCE secretary general , Dr Kunle Olajide frowned at the late response of Asiwaju Tinubu to the controversy on the establishment of Operation Amotekun.

Dr Olajide pointed out that Tinubu’s response came a little bit late , saying, “Asiwaju is part of the council, and the council expected him to also share the pains of the Yoruba’s and sympathize with them whenever there is a problem.”

The YCE secretary general stated that Yoruba nation has been offended grievously and assaulted in the last three years, and that Asiwaju Tinubu “as a foremost leader in Yoruba land must be seen to be more regional than federal because his political party which he leads nationally controlled five states in the Southwest zone.

“We believe he was part of the people that brought the Amotekun to life because majority of the governors who are the initiator of this project are members of his party, so we are surprised as he said he just initiated discussion with the chairman of the Southwest Governors Forum, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, we are not happy about this because we want him to be more regional than been federal.”, he said.
