Outburst Over Amotekun: Blame Not Miyetti Allah But Internal Collaborators

… Ife Oyedele Is Stakeholders’ ATM, Ignore Him

The outburst of the Miyetti Allah scribe was live on national television. As usual, the issue was Amotekun. Rather than throwing the same stones the arrogant miscreant threw at the governors, we will rather put the blame on the internal collaborators whose parochial political pursuits have beclouded their sense of tomorrow.

Yes, the possibility of an outburst as such can only be seen when a serving senator, because of his political ambition, would rather demonize Amotekun than support the scheme.

Is it not curious that it was shortly after a supposed Senator whose immediate environment is the most affected by insecurity pummeled Amotekun that the Federal Attorney General came out that same evening to issue a statement?

These are the internal collaborators who have sold the Southwest out. However, we must emphasise that our unity and cohesion as a nation are two cherished features that we cant afford to undermine.

For the umpteenth time, Amotekun has come to stay and all legal means will be deployed to achieve same without necessarily affecting our oneness as a nation. Like others elsewhere, Amotekun remains complimentary. It is not a regional force.

On the allegation by Ife Oyedele that governance in Ondo state has been turned to a family affair, we urge all and sundry to show emphaty with him rather than decipate energy over his pedestrian outburst.

For one, Oyedele who is the Executive Director of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company, appears to have been overwhelmed in the pool of fantasy to the extent that he forgot he had indicted himself.

It means Oyedele has failed in his sojourn as a power expert at that level of engagement if his Division has not had power for years.

The governorship of Ondo state is open for all to contest. But it is seemingly laughable for undiscerning minds to interprete running taps for proper qualification. Oyedele has a lot more to learn. Being available as a stakeholders’ ATM means he deserves to be pitied at all times.
