APC Hails South West Governors on the launch of Operation Amotekun
The leadership of APC in the South West Zone has lauded the efforts of the South West Governors at securing the Yoruba Nation through the launch of the Security Network Code named “AMOTEKUN” with its operational base at Ibadan, the capital of the old South West Region.
In a statement made available to the Press by the APC Zonal Publicity Secretary, Rt. Hon. Karounwi Oladapo, the Party was particularly impressed that the Governors hearkened to the call of the Party at the height of kidnapping activities in July, 2019, asking the Governors to rise up to the challenge of kidnapping and other forms of criminality in the Region.This led to the prompt actions taken by the Governors and other critical stakeholders that brought the currency of abductions to the bearest minimum in the Zone.
The strategic approach of the Governors to deliver their mandates of securing the life and properties of the Yoruba people was responsible for the purchase of security vehicles, motorcycles, communication gadgets and the coordination of the conventional security agencies and unconventional security outfits, preparatory to the launch that we are about to witness.
In the words of the APC National Vice Chairman and the South West APC Zonal Caucus Chairman, Pastor Bankole Oluwajana, “the Western Region has always been a Pacesetter in developmental initiatives. We therefore urge the neighbouring regions of South South, South East and North Central to replicate this security approach in their regions so that the flushed out criminals in the South West region will not see their States as safe haven where they can hide and launch attacks on our border towns
The APC leadership urge the people of the South West to cooperate with the personnel of the AMOTEKUN and provide them credible intelligence to enable them perform optimally. The ultimate goal is that our people must sleep with their two eyes closed, move from one place to the other without fear of abductions and making the South West Region a destination of choice for investors.
