Amotekun: Wike, Dickson quarrel disturbing unity of South South governors

Governors of the six South-South states are, at the moment, disordered and ineffective to hold a meeting to take a joint decision on the setting up of a regional security outfit like the South West Security Network, ‘Amotekun’ launched, last week, by South-West Governors to enhance security in the region, Vanguard investigation has revealed.

The investigation revealed the rift between Governor Wike of Rivers State and Governor Dickson of Bayelsa state is one of the main contributing factor to the inability of the south-south governors to converge.

Governor Wike, a powerful governor in the region is not prepared to attend any meeting with Governor Dickson, who is handing over next month (February) to the newly elected All Progressives Congress, APC, Governor-elect in his state, Mr David Lyon.

There was also indication that Lyon may not be at ease with any binding undertaking on behalf of Bayelsa state by Governor Dickson at this critical time and would want to consult the Edo state governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, also of the APC before taking any decision.

Governor Nyesom Wike and the state Information Commissioner, Paulinus Nsiri, were not forthcoming on reactions to the Federal Government’s disapproval of Amotekun, when contacted, against the backdrop of the same fate that befell similar Neighboring Watch set up by the Wike administration.

Though the governor has always held strongly to not giving up on operationalizing the Neighborhood Watch, established by a Rivers state law in the face of federal government disapprobation, he made no mention of it in the N23Billion he appropriated for security in the 2020 Rivers budget.

These two governors are one of the most underperforming governors in this present dispensation, considering the disposal of resources.

But their subjects are more interested in Sanwo-Olu, Ganduje, Tinubu and El-Rufai.

They are mortgaging your(Niger-Deltans) futures of the altar of petty politics.

Funny enough, they are from the same party.

Non of these regional security apparatus will help Nigeria's unity because they are conceived with sinister motives toward some ethnic groups in the country. For those that are shouting HISBAH and civilian JTF in the North are also illegal, they should look at the aforementioned from different perspectives because Hisbah was created by Kano state and civilian JTF by Borno state non of these Security agencies are allowed to use gun or any sophisticated weapons
But amatekun or whatever they call it is a different case because
1.a whole geo-political zone decided to create it
2. They will be allowed to use weapons
3. They are being supported by people of questionable character e.g Nnamdi KANU
4. Other regions might do the same hence the federal police will be useless and conflicts will started based on perceived injustice by people of different ethnicity.


Therefore amatekun or whatever is dead and buried the Northerners will not agree will these sort of security arrangements, if you want secure your region cooperate with the police and army in your respective states, support them with necessary , material and financial support and watch how things will change

I support this!
Dickson is 1 month away from becoming an ex governor hence he should have no in matters that affect governance and the region!
Moreover Lyon might feel constrained to abide by the agreement reached by Dickson in terms of salaries and other miscellaneous expenditure.

These south south governors needs to put every beef aside and come together to form a security force for the sake of the people and have a round table talk like men.


I hope the next governor of Bayelsa reasons with Wike and other south south governors to make it work.

I wonder what they'll term it. Maybe urhobotekun or ijawtekun but Since South south is known to always align with south east on politics, maybe they're patiently waiting on south east to come with their ibotekun first.

Wike's Ego is just too much, this is an issue of secuirity.. anyways after watching the video of him lambasting Kings and asking them to stand up, i know the guys pride is just too much

This is the golden window they have to join the moving train and secure their region, because as we speak the Bandits and Cow herders have being reported to be migrating to other region
