Chairman of the South-West Governors Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State is expected in Abuja today for a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari to discuss details of the Operation Amotekun security initiative being championed by South-West Governors.
A reliable presidency source said the governor had secured an appointment to meet with the President to explain the issue to him.
“The governor has an appointment to meet with Mr President on the Amotekun issue tomorrow (Tuesday),” said the source.
The Ondo State governor, had on Friday, January 24, told reporters in Abuja that he and his colleagues would meet with the President to explain the Amotekun to him.
This followed the pronouncement by the Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN, declaring the Amotekun initiative illegal.
An earlier meeting had to be rescheduled because the date of the meeting coincided with the period of the President’s official trip to the United Kingdom
