The Aare of Ofiki Land, Alayaluwa, Oba Adeoye Gbenga Adigun Oyinlola II, JP has described the declaration of Operation Amotekun as illegal by the Federal government as bias and wickedness of governance.
The monarch in a statement made available to www.insideoyo.com on Tuesday urged the Southwest Governors to jettison the declaration and focus on the security of the life properties of the region.
Insideoyo.com recalls that the Federal government described the Southwest Security Network, codenamed Operation Amotekun which was recently launched in Ibadan as illegal.
He said: “The declaration of Amotekun as illegal security outfit is a testament to the insensitivity, biasness and wickedness of governance.
“I urge our Western States governors and all stakeholders to jettison the declaration. Let us be focused on the security of the life and properties of our region.
“As a traditional ruler, I will continue to sanction illegal immigrants capable of doing harm to my people.
“Our lands and people shall be protected even in the face of threat. Amotekun is welcomed in my domain to compliment the effort of the police and NSCDC .”
Oba Adeoye who was at the inauguration alongside the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II and other traditional rulers urged the Oyo state governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde not to despair and continue with his good initiative.
He also pleaded with the Governor not to forget the abandoned Agunrege – Ofiki – Irawo road which is now a death trap.
He said: “Governor Seyi Makinde should not despair, continue with your good initiative.
“However, I use the medium to remind His Excellency on Agunrege – Ofiki – Irawo abandoned road which is now a death trap.
“Reconstruction of the road will not only boost the local government revenue and economy of the four benefiting towns but will also affirm that the Governor fulfill his promise to us when he passed through the baddest road during campaign,”
The monarch who is also the President of the All Baptist Youths Fellowship also commended the Governor for the inauguration of the Judicial Service Commission which according to him, composed men of impeccable integrity.
