Northern Youths Say Amotekun is OPC Military Wing in Disguise
The Northern Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has berated the South West Governors for the establishment of Amotekun, saying that the move was a threat to national peace and security.
The NYCN in a statement signed by its National President Comrade Isah Abubakar and made available to PRNigeria in Abuja said Amotekun group in south west is OPC Military wing in disguise, stressing that the group is in the same league with the proscribed IPOB terrorist organization in the South East.
He appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari not to allow this unconstitutionality to prevail, adding that the south west Governors must desist from backing nefarious groups such as this one.
According to him, Amotekun is a threat to peace and national security, and an attempt to jeorpadize Nigeria’s sovereignty. The Amotekun Group is not different from Boko Haram and the IPOB Movement in their formative stages, stressing that Nigerian Police, DSS and Army Shouldn’t take this lightly with the Governors of South West.
The NYCN called on the National Security Adviser to promptly take steps that will avert the looming threat to our National security deliberately created by Governors of South West, OPC and others.
