The Aare On a Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams, has accused governors in the South-West of forming what he called their own security outfits without working with the police or the Odua Peoples Congress.
Gani Adams made this known in Ilorin on Wednesday during a media briefing.
According to him, this could backfire as he and the OPC will not be there for the governors if there is any trouble in the future.
He said, “Do you know that some South-West governors are recruiting their political errand boys for security purposes without consulting me or the OPC anymore? And when the issue of security threats comes, they will remember to call the Aare Ona Kakanfo to come and intervene.
I’m not getting a salary from the government, but I’ve been using my money to run this position and our money for this organization. When a government politicizes security, it’s doomed to fail. It’s a signal to Nigeria. If there’s any security problem in the area, they should not hold me or the IG responsible.
The IG has done his part by partnering the organisation with antecedents. But some of our governors want to politicize security issues. It’s uncalled-for and it’s unacceptable.”
