Chairman of the South-West Governors Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu(SAN), Tuesday, said he did not discus the South-West security outfit, Amotekun, with President Muhammadu Buhari during their closed-door meeting at Aso rock.
The contentious South-West security outfit, Amotekun, had pitched the governors of the region against the Federal Government, until the intervention of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo a fortnight ago.
He spoke to newsmen after the meeting with President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, where he invited the President to commission the newly-built Ore Flyover and Ondo State industrial hub, as part of projects to mark the governor’s three years in office, on February 24.
Akeredolu stressed that the governors were already in discussions with the Inspector-General of Police, IGP, over the matter, and he didn’t need to bother the President with it, or make any political issues out of it.
We didn’t even mention it
According to him, “that is probably why I had to brief you, journalists, because as I was coming here, I read in one of our papers that I was coming in here to discuss Amotekun with the President.
