…. Declares, Lagos must deploy Amotekun now
Governors under the aegis of South West Governors have reacted to the altercation between the Police and the governor of Lagos State,Babajide Sanwo- Olu following the Magodo crisis.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Chairman of the Forum,Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu condemned the act which it described as brazen assault on decency.
The Forum also condemned the role of the Attorney General of the Federation,Mr Abubakar Malami and urged Governor Sanwo- Olu to deploy the Regional security outfit- Amotekun in the state to protect the lives and property of the people.
“We are in possession of a video which has gone viral on the social media concerning the disgraceful exchange between a police officer, a CSP, and the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwoolu, the supposed Chief Security Officer of the State, at the Magodo Residential Estate.
“The content of the video is very disconcerting, and this is being charitable. The utter disrespect, which underlines the response of the officer to the Governor establishes, beyond doubt, the impracticability of the current system, dubiously christened “Federalism”. An arrangement, which compels the Governor of a State to seek clarifications on security issues in his jurisdiction from totally extraneous bodies or persons, is a sure recipe for anarchy.
“We condemn, very strongly, this brazen assault on decency. We call on the IG to explain the justification for this intrusion. This is not acceptable. Any expectations of rapprochement between so called federating units and federal security agencies are becoming forlorn, progressively, due to deliberate acts which mock our very avowal to ethics and professionalism.
“We condemn, in very clear terms, the role of the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami SAN in this act of gross moral turpitude.
“We, on our part, will continue to interrogate the current system, which treats elected representatives of the people as mere prefects, while appointed office holders ride rough shod over them as Lords of the Manor. If the purported Chief Security Officers of the States of the Federation require clearance from the office of the IG on matters within their areas of jurisdictions, only hypocrites will wonder why the current security crisis deepens and there appears to be no solution in the foreseeable future.
“We condemn very strongly, this brazen assault on decency. We call on the IG to explain the justification for this intrusion. This is not acceptable. Any expectations of rapprochement between so called federating units and federal security agencies are becoming forlorn, progressively, due to deliberate acts which mock our very avowal to ethics and professionalism.
“We stand by our brother, the Governor of Lagos State. We advise him to deploy the Regional security outfit in the State to protect the lives and property of the people.
“We call on the President and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces to rein in the excesses of certain elements bent on acting in a manner capable of eroding the bond of trust existing between the people and the Federal Government. It is preposterous for political appointees to seek to undermine the very structure of service upon which their appointments rest.” The statement added.
Thanks for the article. My partner and i have always noticed that many people are needing to lose weight because they wish to appear slim plus attractive. Nonetheless, they do not generally realize that there are many benefits for losing weight as well. Doctors insist that overweight people are afflicted by a variety of illnesses that can be perfectely attributed to their own excess weight. Fortunately that people that are overweight in addition to suffering from diverse diseases are able to reduce the severity of their own illnesses by simply losing weight. You’ll be able to see a gradual but marked improvement with health whenever even a moderate amount of fat reduction is obtained.
Everything is very open with a really clear explanation of the issues. It was truly informative. Your site is useful. Many thanks for sharing!
