Furthermore the perception of Amotekun as a Yoruba militia risks provoking further ethnic tension. Just the way we are opposed to Amotekun, we are opposed to Hisbah and other security outfit under the bourgeois self-serving control. We note that the debate on Amotekun has brought again to the front burner the question of farmer-herder conflict. Furthermore, we of the SPN reject any narrative that profiles Fulani herdsmen as the only criminals in the southwest especially on highways. We also note that Amotekun saga has helped accentuate the national question which cannot be resolved by the primitive capitalist elite in Nigeria.
