Amotekun: "No Going Back, Do Your Worst" - FFK to FG


Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode has dared the Buhari-led Federal Government to do her worse as South West will not back down on its regional security outfit christened Amotekun. His reaction is coming on the heels of the call by the leadership of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders for the arrest of South West leaders backing the operation.
In his words on twitter FFK said: "Go ahead, arrest us and ignite a fire. Do your worst and make heroes and martyrs out of us. We are ready to sacrifice ALL for the freedom of our loved ones & children & for the future generations of our people.

We will never bow to you and we will not be intimidated by your bullying ways and childish barrack-room threats. When you take one of us down millions will rise up in his or her defence and in his or her place.

We have lost all sense of fear. We have no fear of arrest, no fear of death, no fear of torture, no fear of failure and no fear of tyranny because the Lord is with us! Amotekun is here to stay and damned be he who says this is not so.

In as much as the control of one's own destiny is the pre-condition for progress, a conflict with the Islamic North is inevitable if the South truly desires to successfully reform itself.

The struggle for secession in 1967, the Nzeogwu coup of Jan. 15th 1966 and the Orkar coup of April 22 1990, which all aimed at breaking the Islamic North's political stranglehold coupled with the centrifugal ethnic nationalism of today, have all been abundantly vindicated.

There is no realistic prospect of working, in equal partnership, with the Islamic North towards any shared enlightened vision of the future.
It is time for us to go our separate ways"
