Dapo Abiodun, Gboyega Oyetola and
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governors of Ogun, Osun and Lagos state respectively, were
absent from the launch of Amotekun, the joint security outfit by south-west
governors.
The launch took place at the
secretariat in Ibadan, Oyo state, on Thursday.
The six state governors had constituted
the outfit to tackle challenges of insecurity including kidnapping and banditry
in the region.
While all the governors were
expected to be in attendance, only Rotimi Akeredolu, Kayode Fayemi, and Seyi
Makinde, governors of Ondo, Ekiti and Oyo were present.
Oyetola was represented by
Benedict Alabi, his deputy.
Delivering his goodwill message,
Makinde said Sanwo-Olu and Abiodun were absent owing to the weather condition.
“Even though they are not
physically here, I’m sure their spirits are with us here,” Makinde said.
He added that by hosting the
launch of the operation and its headquarters, Oyo has added another feather as
a state of the firsts.
