Recently, these security issues are present not only in the North East region, but escalated to north west, middle belt and down across the river Niger as well.

The Amotekun which is highly welcomed by the public across the Yoruba land and beyond is hereby threatened by the current administration of General Mohammed Buhari. The regional security force is tagged as "Illegal". The question by every Nigerian today is, why Amotekun is considered illegal while the Hisbah security force in Northern Nigeria legal by law ?

Do quickly recall the events at the PDP State Secretariat  and the nasty comment you made with regard to your not knowing me in the politics of the PDP in Chukun LGA.  If Hon Maria Dogo must know, I do not play politics at the level of the local council I do at a much higher level.  If Maria Dogo must know, I was the campaign coordinator for Muhammed Buhari in the Southern Senatorial District in the 2015 general elections.

Musa to collaborate with the Kaduna state Government in rallying forces towards confronting issues that ail us as a people, officials of government, especially our brothers, rendered such efforts a nulli...
