Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed support for the
establishment of zonal, states and community security architecture to
curb rising insecurity in the country. He cautioned that refusal to
adopt novel means of securing lives and property across the country
posed serious threat to Nigeria’s unity.
Atiku’s position emerged just as former Minister of Aviation, Femi
Fani-Kayode, declared yesterday in Abuja that Federal Government’s
declaration of Operation Amotekun as an illegal outfit was an
inconsequential opinion expressed through the Attorney-General of the
Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.He submitted that
such opinion could not stop Amotekun because it had come to stay, as the
only way people of the South West zone could protect themselves from
being killed by criminals.
Fani-Kayode said the Federal Government had no right to declare
Amotekun illegal because it failed to comply with a fundamental
constitutional provision, which made security and welfare the only basis
for the existence of government.“And anybody that believe that we can
be in anyway intimidated by stepping down and saying we will not protect
our people from those killings is making a big mistake. There is no
going back on the security outfit and it is something we have firmly
resolved,” he stated.
However, Atiku’s support for zonal security architecture, which was
contained in a statement issued by his media adviser, Paul Ibe yesterday
noted, “In the past decade particularly, the current policing
administration in our country had been stretched to its limits and it is
obvious that the reality of domestic security upheaval will require us
to recalibrate our police systems.”He noted that in present day Nigeria,
there was hardly any state of the federation that does not contend with
one kind of security challenges or the other.
“Because our security challenges are diverse, it is important that
centrally controlled police architecture cannot exclusively deal with
those challenges.Consequently, there is need for the creation of
additional policing structures in the country to address the rapidly
growing challenges of insecurity and crime,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, Aare Onakankanfo of Yoruba Land, Gani Adams has accused
former Governor of old Kaduna State, Balarabe Musa of supporting the
North’s conquest agenda of the South following his position that the
Federal Government and Nigerians should reject Amotekun.Adams, in a
statement yesterday however, urged all states Houses of Assembly in the
South West to pass the Amotekun bill into law within two weeks, just as
he encouraged traditional rulers and all Yoruba at home and in the
Diaspora to support the new security arrangement.
