A South-West association, Save Lagos Group, has given the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, 24 hours to reveal his position on Amotekun.
Tinubu, who is seen as the leader of the South-West by many, has remained silent on Amotekun which was launched by South-West governors last week.
In a statement on Friday, the Convener, Save Lagos Group, Adeniyi Sulaiman, said the group was giving Tinubu 24 hours to speak up.
Sulaiman asked Tinubu, who is an advocate of restructuring, to be courageous regardless of his rumoured Presidential ambition.
The activist rubbished threats by northern groups like the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore which stated that supporting Amotekun may cost the South-West the Presidency in 2023.
He said it was hypocritical of the Federal Government to allow Shariah Police, Hisbah, to operate in more than 10 northern states while Amotekun, which is operating only in the South-West is illegal.
The SLG convener said the safety of the people of the South-West was worth more important than any Presidential ambition.
He commended several personalities like Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka; Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Debanjo; activist, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), Chief Olu Falae, Otunba Gani Adams and several others for coming out to speak for the people.
