Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>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.<\/p>\n

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

According to the group, the PDP was using a former governor to achieve its aim for political gains.<\/p>\n

The coordinator of the group, Lawal Adekola, in a statement, 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis, among others, was one of the conditions that was given to the former governor to impress the PDP Northern power brokers. The ex-governor is desperately looking for their support,\u201d the group claimed.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the allegation, the Publicity Secretary of PDP in the State, Kennedy Peretei berated the coordinator of the group, Adekola for making \u201cridiculous and senseless allegation.\u201d<\/p>\n

While emphasising that the questions the party had earlier raised against Amotekun were not addressed, Peretie maintained that the group was playing ethnic card.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need not respond to persons whose mouths are controlled by their stomachs,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
