…Speakers meet on Thursday

Conference of Speakers in South-West states has thrown its weight behind state governors in the region on the establishment of regional security outfit, Operation Amotekun, saying the development should be applauded and not condemned.

Chairman of the body, who is the Speaker of Ondo State House of Assembly, Bamidele Oloyelogun, told newsmen that they would be meeting on Thursday in Ibadan “to look at the legislative aspect of the outfit.”

He said the Speakers in the region were behind their respective state governors on the new security outfit, adding that there was no going back.

Oloyelogun spoke just as findings by Sunday Vanguard revealed that the Houses of Assembly across the six states in the region have not received any communication from the governors, but plans have been concluded to send the bills on the outfit to them.

The action is expected to take place after an enlarged meeting of the governors in the region to review developments since the launch of Amotekun.
