Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has kicked
against suggestions that members of the Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) should be recruited into the new security
outfit created by South West governors, Amotekun.
Alhaji Yaqub Bello, a former Chairman of MACBAN in the
state, made the suggestion on Monday February 24th during a public hearing on
the Oyo State Security Network Agency Bill, 2020, also known as Amotekun
bill. While declaring his support for
the new security outfit, Bello said
“Some of us have been in Oyo state for over 40 years,
cohabiting with the natives, married Yoruba women and have children. So, our request is to include Myetti Allah as
members of Operation Amotekun to enhance the job of the outfit, since we know
the terrain of where we rear our cattle.
Having Fulani among the outfit will make it easier for
Amotekun men to distinguish between genuine herdsmen and the criminals while on
patrol. A Fulani man can also serve as
an interpreter while interrogating any suspected herdsman.”
FFK is of the opinion that this will not work. Taking to
Twitter to air his objection, he wrote
Recruiting Miyetti Allah into Amotekun is like recruiting
demons into an army of angels. It's like recruiting hyenas into an army of
lions. It's like recruiting vultures into an army of eagles. It's like
recruiting sharks into an army of dolphins. Simply put: KO LE WERK!
It's like recruiting Nazis into the Israeli Defence Force.
It's like recruiting the Ku Klux Klan into the ranks of the Black Panthers.
It's like recruiting Hutus into an Army ofTutsis. It's like recruiting the
white Boers into Nelson Mandela's ANC. I say it again: KO LE WERK!
