Former civilian governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Abdulkadir Balarabe has hailed the stance of the federal government on the Western Nigeria Security Network, known as Operation Amotekun.

Balarabe in an interview with The Sun said the establishment of Amotekun by the six governors of the Southwest was a ploy by the region to secede from the country.
The second republic governor told the paper: “First of all, taking into account what happened in the history of Nigeria, this Amotekun will lead to a declaration of Oduduwa Republic. Look at the composition of those who constitute the organization in addition to the six state governors. There is also the OPC, Afenifere, and others. So, the fear is quite obvious. And this is in spite of the fact that this government is incompetent.
“Definitely, this government is incompetent. And it is because of the incompetence of this government that this problem has arisen. But let us also not forget that this Federal Government is an alliance between the North and the Southwest. So, why should this happen? Any correction in the set up of the country is possible if this alliance, which controls government in the country can do its work.”
