A Southwest pressure association, ‘Save Lagos Group’, has given the All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a 24-hour ultimatum to reveal his position on the Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed ‘Operation Amotekun’, which the Federal Government has declared illegal.

Tinubu has remained silent on Amotekun since its launch last week and subsequent rejection by Aso Rock, thus raising curiosity among many people who see him as one of the influential leaders in the Southwest.

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, SAN, had on Tuesday declared the outfit as illegal while the Southwest governors have remained unfazed.

In a statement on Friday, the Convener of Save Lagos Group (SLG), Adeniyi Sulaiman, said the group was giving Tinubu 24 hours to speak up.

Sulaiman asked Tinubu, who is an advocate of restructuring, to be courageous regardless of his rumoured presidential ambition.

The activist rubbished threats by northern groups like the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore which stated that supporting Amotekun may cost the Southwest the Presidency in 2023.

He said it was hypocritical of the Federal Government to allow Shariah Police, Hisbah, to operate in more than 10 northern states while it declared Amotekun, which is operating only in the Southwest as illegal.

The SLG convener said the safety of the people of the Southwest was worth more important than any Presidential ambition.

He commended several personalities like Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka; Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Debanjo; activist, Mr. Femi Falana, SAN; Chief Olu Falae, Otunba Gani Adams and several others for speaking up for the people of the region.
