As I suspected; Amotekun has transmuted into a political tool, those who were initially ambivalent have since latched on to it as a veritable means of opposing d Buhari government, even those who don't know what Amotekun means have since become d most...
vocal champions. A very laudable idea is gradually turning into an object of controversy all because those who mooted d idea failed to plan and execute exhaustively while grandstanding seems to be d preferred option to an all inclusive dialogue to make it

time to pause and reflect, if d philosophy behind Amotekun is to provide succour to our beleaguered people, then we need to cease fire and not act like d biblical woman with no filial relationship with a baby she sought to cut and share for which King...
Solomon justly adjudicated on. I believe the expedient path to take now is for our governors to enjoin their individual House of Assembly to enact a piece of legislation that would give legal teeth to the operation of Amotekun in the states and then work...
out the fine details of collaboration at the regional level which perhaps is already in place. The SW must remain a battleground of ideas and not a fertile ground for proxy war. The people of SW deserve protection from their elected representatives, we...
