A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has condemned the proposal by the leadership of Miyetti Allah calling for the recruitment of its members into the South West security outfit, Amotekun.

Oyo State Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeder Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Yakubu Bello, while declaring his support for the establishment of Amotekun proposed that his members be incorporated in the security outfit.

Bello made the demand at the public hearing on Oyo State Security Network Agency Bill, 2020, held in Ibadan, adding that not all Fulani men are bad.

Fani-Kayode, however, kicked against the demand in a post via his verified Twitter handle.

The former minister likened the recruitment of Miyetti Allah members into Amotekun to recruiting ‘vultures into an army of eagles’ which according to him cannot work in the region.

Fani-Kayode tweeted:

“Recruiting Miyetti Allah into Amotekun is like recruiting demons into an army of angels.. It’s like recruiting hyenas into an army of lions. It’s like recruiting vultures into an army of eagles. It’s like recruiting sharks into an army of dolphins.

“It’s like recruiting Nazis into the Israeli Defence Force. It’s like recruiting the Ku Klux Klan into the ranks of the Black Panthers. It’s like recruiting Hutus into an Army ofTutsis. It’s like recruiting the white Boers into Nelson Mandela’s ANC.”
