A Yoruba group has warned the Ondo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, against propagating an agenda to undermine the operations of the Southwest Security Network, also known as Amotekun.

The group, Yoruba Youth Indigenous Movement, YYIM, which alleged a move to scuttle the operations of Amotekun in the South-west, said the plot would be met with resistance.

According to the group, the PDP used a former governor to achieve its aim for political gains.

In a statement, the group coordinator, Lawal Adekola, alleged that the PDP, through the former governor, had negotiated with some Northerners to discredit Amotekun and weaken its operations by instigating the people against the security outfit.

“We have it on good authority that the former governor has vowed to use the instrumentality of the PDP in the state to discredit Amotekun and ensure that the people lose confidence in the security outfit.

“This, among others, was one of the conditions that were given to the former governor to impress the PDP Northern power brokers. The ex-governor is desperately looking for their support,” the group claimed.

Reacting to the allegation, the Publicity Secretary of PDP in the State, Kennedy Peretei, criticized the group coordinator, Adekola, for making “ridiculous and senseless allegation.”

While emphasising that the party’s questions against Amotekun were not addressed, Peretie maintained that the group was playing the ethnic card.

“We need not respond to persons whose mouths are controlled by their stomachs,” he declared.
