Akeredolu to Buhari: we can’t have one country with two rules

The Ondo State Governor, Arakurin Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has criticizes President Muhammadu Buhari for allowing Katsina’s local security to bear arms while at the same time, prevent its counterpart in South West region (Amotekun) to carry weapons.
A video which has gone viral showed the Katsina state equivalent of Amotekun Corps, obtaining Federal Government approval to bear arms.
This, Governor Akeredolu said “is fraught with danger denying Amotekun the desperately needed right to bear arms, saying it is a rejection of the foundation of true federalism, which we have been clamoring for.”
According to him, “That Katsina was able to arm its state security force, with the display of AK47 means we are pursuing one country with two systems solution to the national question. If the katsina situation conferring advantages on some, in the face of commonly faced existential threats, it means that our unitary policing system, which has failed, is a deliberate method of subjugation which must be challenged.’
Akeredolu also declared: “The Independence agreement was based on a democratic arrangement to have a federal state and devolved internal security mechanics. We must go back to that agreement. Denying Amotekun the right to bear arms exposes the Southwest to life-threatening marauders and organised crime. It is also a deliberate destruction of our agricultural sector. It is an existential threat.
“We want to reiterate, that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Ondo State government under the doctrine of necessity have decided to fulfil its legal, constitutional and moral duty to the citizens of the State, by acquiring arms to protect them. This is more so, given that the bandits have an unchecked access to sophisticated weapons. The State government cannot look on while its citizens are being terrorized and murdered with impunity. We will defend our people.”
