The Yoruba World Congress (YWC) led by emeritus Professor Banji Akintoye has commended the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, for taking the bull by the horn with the inauguration of the Yoruba security outfit code-named Amotekun.
In a statement through its Director of Communications, Moses Jolayemi, the group said, from the efforts so far made by the governor leading to the recent inauguration, it is clear that he is serious about the security initiative and not engaged in mere lip service or political shenanigan.
The group said the latest move is an indication that the governor is in touch with his people and has a listening ear.
According to YWC, there is no better time for all the states in Yoruba land to rise to the occasion and perform their constitutional roles as the chief security officers of their respective states.
The YWC further expressed delight at the progress so far made by the south west governors, all of whom have individually signed the Amotekun bill into law.
“Having scaled the initial hurdle, the next logical and pragmatic step is to ensure full operation of Amotekun throughout the length and breadth of Yoruba land, Jolayemi stated.
“To make this e’ort a reverberating success, every descendant of the Yoruba nation, wherever they are in the world, must lend their support to rid the land of crime and flush out undesirable elements currently hibernating in all corners”, the statement reads.
