The National Executive of ODA, the umbrella body representing the Yoruba people of Kogi State, rose from its quarterly meeting of 18th January 2020 held in Isanlu, Yagba East LG, with some far reaching decisions.

In a communiqué released in Kogi State after the meeting, and signed by the National President, Barrister Femi Mokikan, the National Secretary, Pst Ayo Abereoran and the National Legal Adviser, Barrister Abimbola, the association stated that
1) Legal, civil and criminal actions will be taken against anybody or group of persons parading themselves as representing the Association at National or Branch levels in any manner outside the provisions of the constitution of the Association.
2) No organisation or individuals shall henceforth undertake any event or function, for commercial or non commercial purposes, using the Okun name without the written approval of the National Executive Committee of ODA.
3) That the security situation in Okunland is still of serious concern. We commend the efforts of the State Government, other security agencies in the State, our Hunters and individuals who have collaborated with us in addressing the challenges we are often confronted with.
4) To further enhance the effectiveness of our efforts, we believe the time has come for us to set up our own Okun Security Trust Fund (OSTF). Towards this end, a committee is working on the details and other modalities and the outcome will be announced as soon as their report is approved.
5) We received with excitement the creation of the AMOTEKUN Security outfit at inter governmental level to address the security challenges of the SW States. This provides us in ODA an opportunity to explore the possibility of raising our security collaboration with the SW Yorubas to another level. We shall not relent.
6) As part of possible measures to reduce unemployment, we appeal to Okun Sons and Daughters with means and the entrepreneurial profile to come home and establish businesses with potentials to absorb people into paid employment.
7) The presence of a Community Radio is a powerful means of social and cultural reengineering in any community. The ODA will explore every opportunity/possibility, through appropriate individuals, to ensure that Okun Radio becomes a reality.
To further give teeth to the ODA, the Okun Council of Elders is to be reconstituted within the shortest possible time. We, on behalf of all Okun people thank our fathers and mothers who have served meritoriously on the Council
9) We appeal to our politicians to stop meddling with the affairs of the National Association of Okun Students so as to permanently put an end to the divisive tendencies that continue to plague the body. What we need is unity at all levels.
10) That the Miss Okun Pageant is a proprietary asset of the Okun people. Therefore the process of selecting the successful candidate to wear the Miss Okun Crown will henceforth be under the umbrella of ODA. This is without prejudice to any groups or individuals that may wish to initiate, organize and own their own beauty pageants, provided the word Okun is not reflected in the appellation of such pageant
11) Meanwhile, ODA has announced that election will be held into various offices of the Lagos branch of the association before the end of February 2020.
The Executive offices to be filled shall be contested by individuals from Ijumu Local Government, Yagba West Local Government, Mopa Amuro Local Government, Yagba East Local Government, Oworo/Lokoja Local Government and Kabba/Bunu Local Government.
12) Ijumu Local Government will produce the Chairman of the Branch, while the Vice-Chairman will be produced by Oworo in Lokoja Local Government, the office of the Secretary has been zoned to Yagba West, while the Financial Secretary will be produced by Mopa Amuro. The post of Public Relation Officer (PRO) and Treasurer will come from Yagba East and Kabba/Bunu Local Government respectively.

Speaking further on the Communique, the National President, Barrister Femi Mokikan, appealed to the Federal Government to urgently rebuild all the federal roads in Okunland that are in a deplorable condition. The association President said most Okun communities are now "landlocked".

They should extend Amotekun to the Yoruba parts of Kogi and Kwara state. Why exclude them from the Amotekun just because of geopolitical classification
The major route from south west to Abuja ( Kabba-Obajana road in Kogi state ) is now kidnappers and armed robbers den. We need Amotekun on this particular route.
Amotekun has come to stay!

In quote was my views on that thread...on the need to extend Amotekun to Yoruba parts of Kwara and Kogi state.
I didn't even know that my people in Kogi State are already making the move to collaborate with our kith and kin in SW on security.

Okun agbe yha ooo.
Amotekun has come to stay!

una dey dream, for Yeye Bello state ? that house boy to Abuja power...una just wan price market sha

I love the spirit of the Yorubas. They are determined to protect their people regardless of geo-political differences.


Middle belt do something to say our people. The Hausa Fulani have used religion to divide us finish....let's be united once more....

An awareness and sensitisation is ongoing.It wont be long before the every region will start demanding for self liberalisation from the yoke of the supremacists.

Love this

Yeye Bello my foot, he couldn't stop OPC then is it Amotekun that his going to stop

Amotekun777 com n see somtin..

Btw, Why are some politicians jittery about the invent of Amotekun??

Could it be they ve been cashing out big time on our poor security situation??

Ion trust our political class sha!!!

Great, like I said, we need cooperation of other neighboring states too

They wanna turn kogi state into a theater of war.. cos that young looter yeye Bello wont accept amotekun in his state...

BTW, what's the situation of kogi governorship petition in the tribunal...

Shame on all the security apparatus in this country. Just imagine how people are coming out to praise local policing. If federal had been doing what is expected of it. No one will ever thought of state or regional vigilante

Fg has failed us and has proven it's only interested in collection of revenue only.

This country is sick

Let's go there, iyalaya anybody..

I just hope amotekun won't be infiltrated by bandwagon of thugs, we all know the nature of kogi people...

You're definitely right abt that. Integrity is one of the problems we have as a people. Just like the rate of power failure, some Cabals profit from the lack of power within the nation.

We're just the exact opposite of the developed nations. Our leaders prefer to enrich themselves at the detriment of the people. Yet, majority of these people end up supporting these miscreants.

Waiting for kwara to join and everything blow up
