SWEGOP Raises Concern On Amotekun Project, Urges Journalists To Remind Buhari To Overhaul Nigeria’s Security Architecture

The Southwest Group of Online Publishers (SWEGOP) has expressed its disappointment with the slow pace of execution of the Amotekun security project in the geopolitical zone of the country.

SWEGOP also promised to do its best towards keeping the people in the region informed on the activities of Amotekun when the project eventually takes off officially.

SWEGOP According to CityMirrorNews is a group for online news publishers in the Southwest region of Nigerian. It prides itself as the epitome of ‘ethical revolution’ in online journalism. It has been in existence for close to five years.

While congratulating the governors of the Southwest states on the bold move to establish the Western Nigeria Security Network, SWEGOP’s chairman, Mr. Olayinka Agboola on Friday at the special luncheon organized by the group in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital implored the governors to make haste while the sun is still shinning.

Speaking further, Agboola urged other security organisations to cooperate with the governors to make Amotekun project to achieve its purposes.

“I will, however, implore them to make haste while the sun is still shinning. It is taking too long for them to activate the project. It is not rocket science. They should match action with words. Procrastination can dampen the spirit of our people. Our governors need to move faster,” he added.

Urging President Muhammad Buhari on the need to double up efforts at overhauling the security architecture in Nigeria Agboola charges media Practitioners to remind the President to the needful so as to be able to takcle the menace of Insecurity currently facing the country.

The Chairman charged members of the group and the Nigerian journalists at large to explore their media to continue to remind the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to do more than the usual and overhaul the country’s security architecture.

Agboola emphasised that “We must talk about it every time, we should go to our different Houses of Assembly to lobby our lawmakers there to discuss it and offer practicable solutions. Aboaraeni niaabo ilu.

“We cannot say Kaduna is far, or Borno State is not near and thus, pretend not to be concerned. Nobody knows whose turn it will be tomorrow. Let us take the issue of insecurity more seriously. The assignment is not only for the government, we must be on our guard at all times.”

The SWEGOP Chairman then congratulated the governors of the South-West states on the bold move to establish the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun Corps.

He implored them to make haste while the sun is still shining, noting that it is taking too long for them to activate the project.

“It is not rocket science. They should match action with words. Procrastination can dampen the spirit of our people. Our governors need to move faster,” Agboola said.
