Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa says the governors of the South-West zone would continue to collaborate to secure the survival of the Western Nigeria Security Network, named Amotekun Corps.
Aiyedatiwa offered the promise on Thursday following a five-kilometre walk by Amotekun Corps officers and soldiers from the Cathedral area to the Governor’s office in Akure.
The Amotekun commanders of the five South West states of Ekiti, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, and Ondo took part in the walk to honour the late Ondo State governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
Aiyedatiwa praised the corps for defending inhabitants’ lives and property in the zone, stating that their efforts over the years to protect the people could not be overstated.
“I can assure you that Amotekun will be sustained because of its role in society.
“Because the security of lives and properties of the people of the south-west zone is very important to us, we will use whatever is in our possession to support and sustain it,” he stated.
As a result, the governor complimented the Amotekun corps commanders and their troops for honouring the late Akeredolu, “whose passage was a monumental loss to the state and Amotekun as a whole.”
