Former minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has reacted over a call by the Miyetti Allah association to arrest Yoruba leaders who pledge their support for the creation of Southwest security outfit known as Amotekun.
The reaction came after one of the spokesperson of Miyetti Allah, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo in a recent interview called on the Federal Government to stop the creation of Amotekun.
According to Bodejo, “FG should not only ban it (Amotekun), but should arrest the leaders of this group. Like I said earlier, nobody or group has more security intelligence than the Police.
He further noted that; “The Army is doing enough; the DSS is also doing enough, likewise the Civil Defence.
But in a swift reaction, FFK as fondly called condemned the statement, adding that the Yoruba’s are ready for what come next.
Below is what he wrote on twitter…
Go ahead, arrest us and ignite a fire. Do your worst and make heroes and martyrs out of us. We are ready to sacrifice ALL for the freedom of our loved ones & children & for the future generations of our people.
We will never bow to you and we will not be intimidated by your bullying ways and childish barrack-room threats. When you take one of us down millions will rise up in his or her defence and in his or her place.
We have lost all sense of fear. We have no fear of arrest, no fear of death, no fear of torture, no fear of failure and no fear of tyranny because the Lord is with us! Amotekun is here to stay and damned be he who says this is not so.
In as much as the control of one’s own destiny is the pre-condition for progress, a conflict with the Islamic North is inevitable if the South truly desires to successfully reform itself.
The struggle for secession in 1967, the Nzeogwu coup of Jan. 15th 1966 and the Orkar coup of April 22 1990, which all aimed at breaking the Islamic North’s political stranglehold coupled with the centrifugal ethnic nationalism of today, have all been abundantly vindicated.
There is no realistic prospect of working, in equal partnership, with the Islamic North towards any shared enlightened vision of the future.
It is time for us to go our separate ways, Fani-Kayode added.
Hot cow manure.
The Yorubas start a stench, the northerners challenge and fight back, the IBOS end up in the messy stench. Then the Yoruba and Hausa north reunite to exterminate the IBOS. I see biafra all over again. Can’t we just get along? HRM King O’tuwa 1st.
