OPC Faction: South-West Governors Recruiting Political Thugs For “Operation Amotekun”

A factional President of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Prince Osibote has accused all the governors of southwest regions of giving their political thugs appointment letter for operation “Amotekun“, the regional security outfit.

Naija News understands that the project operation “Amotekun” which was facilitated by the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) is expected to be launched today.

To avoid all doubts, the OPC, which I lead, will not do anything tantamount to the destruction of Yoruba interest. We are at great pains to disclaim, for the umpteenth time, that Adams does not represent the OPC,” Osibote said.

“Having said that, we must commend the Amotekun initiative by governors of the South-west states. While it is a timely, novel and necessary initiative, we believe the contribution(s) of all stakeholders must be sought and in particular, in our own case, with the legitimate OPC, to achieve an unqualified launch.

“The OPC under my leadership is ready to work with the governors and other constituted authorities to secure Yorubaland in particular and the rest of Nigeria in general.

However, President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier summoned the six governors from the South West region to a meeting at the Presidential Villa.

Naija News gathered that the summon may be in connection with the scheduled launch of a new south-west security outfit called Amotekun.
