Operation Àmòtékùn and the Foreign Policy Dimensions: The Push Genesis and the Pull Exegesis
ordre et contre ordre égalent désordre,
However, the truth, and this brings us to a third intrinsic issue, is that an order and counter-order cannot result into a situation of disorder if there had not been an encounter. It is the nature of the encounter, the degradation from crisis to conflict, that largely and polemologically, explains the disorderly situation as a resultant. Put differently, order and counter order must first amount to an encounter before resulting into disorder.
Another school of thought says it is a new strategy to kick-start the restructuring of Nigeria. The Yoruba people have been in the forefront of the advocates of restructuring of the polity. The Federal Government has not shown any willingness to understand, not to talk about accepting to have it examined. Restructuring agenda has been quite controversial. In the eyes of this school, Operationis a pretext for rekindling the agitation for restructuring in a different platform.
And most disturbingly, apart from the frequent cases of kidnapping and armed banditry, there is the report that there are not less than 1,123 exclusively Fulani cells in various parts of the thick forests in the South-West. The cells were identified, thanks to intelligence findings and satellite monitoring. It is from these cells that attacks on innocent people are said to be prepared.
More questionably, the secretary to the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore herdsmen group, Alhaji Alhassan Saleh, noted during a Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily discussion programme that ‘unfortunately, with very strong apology to my South-West friends, despite the education of the Yoruba people, they still remain the most primitive in terms of politics. They are not tolerant to opposition and if you allow them to have an ethnic army, definitely there will be fear from Nigerians.
As regards factors of coincidence, interventions of some other stakeholders make matters worse. The leader of Miyeti Allah in Bauchi State, Alhaji Sadiq, said that Operation‘will not last because it is indigenous, regionalised and lacks constitutional backing. The Constitution has a ready-made provision for regular security with the establishment of the Nigeria Police Force.
