This is one of the reasons we should restructure the country.

Exactly

Holywizard:
Imagine an abokî telling a governor such nonsense, Chai!!!
In foreign countries like USA, a governor has a final say because they have state police departments. An abokî from Zamfara will be disrespectfing someone in his state here in Nigeria.
Nonsense system

That is why we have so much crime in the country today.
Decentralized police is the way to go if Nigeria is to survive as a country.

Shoodboi:
Sanwo Olu wasn't talking from a position of authority. You don't need to explain yourself to him, use words like "Can" or "Please", talk about him calling his superior, or tell him you're the Chief Security Officer or anything.

He knows who you are. You order him to leave and disengage immediately.

You just said it all
I am so ashamed for this man ehn

Kai ... dem no born the officer well to tell my go er or Osagie Obaseki this

Who are you?

nairavsdollars:
Sanwo-Olu is puppet governor. The yeye police officer can't try that with Fashola or Wike

this is so true...cso indeed

Even this one is a stooge so just rest

ShadowWalker00:
Our man come 2023.

Jeremy123:
If I be governor
I go slap am

are governors supposed to slap people?

Okortor:
What audacity and effrontery?

To be roged at times de sweet o...I trust wike n fayose.. like what fayose did to those dss dah yr that came to arrest Apostle Suleiman..

Sanwo olu too soft abeg, even Fashola dealt with an Army colonel who took d wrong way using brt lane.

Whichever way, na family matter..APC..dem go settle am on round table.

@bolded, that was because the army colonel was on the wrong. Sanwo Olu shouldn't have been there. He basically embarrassed himself. He should have worked through the chain of command from his office, not in the street with camara everywhere.

In your USA, governor of the state would come publicly to tell politice to go from official duty, rubish, it will never happen anywhere, this man have IGP phone, call him to tell police police to vacate first, Imagine, California governor give order to FBI... You just de Nigeria the mention America.. no where in the word it happens, he is governor and police man is a police. Stop saying anything about America because even America it will never happen

Thank you brother, why not call IGP first to tell police to vacate, instead, he went to camera for eye service

He is right cause they have state police, the state government controls the police, the FBI is controlled by the federal government.

Sanwo-Olu said, “Can you call your superiors in Abuja and tell them that the governor is here and as the Chief Security Officer, you don’t have any business being in my state right now and I want you to disengage right now?”

But the unnamed CSP replied, “I am here on the instruction of the Inspector General of Police through the AGF. I am too small or too low to call them. Your Excellency sir, you can call them sir.”

Apart from tinubu and fashola,why Lagos like ajebo governor?

alizma:

Una go just come online dey talk rubbish, what will Wike do in this situation? if he use force, the guys will open fire. Some of you don't even know the rule of engagement in this case. I blame the governor for bringing himself to the guys level, even when the guy tried to correct him he failed to realize it. The governor should have ignore the guy and call his superior the moment he sees no need for their presence, the Superior would have called them surprisingly and tell them to immediately disengage. But he wants the guy to be the one to call his superior to tell him that he was wrongly sent to the place or what? That is not done.
The governor should have told them to maintain order then he goes behind to call the appropriate person to tell the boys to immediately vacate the place. This guys are not called zombie for no reason, that is how they operate, it will take the commander to reverse the order or an engagement with them of which I know the governor wouldn't want to go that way.
The guy maybe punished later to pleased the governor but I bet if the governor repeat the same thing another day, he will get the same response

A law enforcement officer would open fire on a sitting governor in an open place where the governor has a well detailed security force around him, they would not only kill the leader of the squad, even his men that came would be detained if not exterminated. When it comes to security of the governor, no one's life is more important to it in a state.

Nigeria as presently constituted cannot work. This is an insult to Lagos people and their state.

otipoju:


Na it does not matter. Power is good when you dont use it. The policeman dey use wisdom...he does not want to be caught in the middle of power play. Thats why he dey beg say sorry sir...abeg call an by yourself.

I no want loose my job.

Loool, very smart CSP.

Those who work in govt and have been caught in between a battle of bosses will understand what he did there.

He smartly wriggled himself out.

The CSP is either drunk or a joker.

DropsMic:
He knows the people backing him, ergo the confidence

Lagos governor can't do shít and he knows it

A Governor is not an Emperor....Dumb Nigerians

atorioke:
This Police Officer should be honoured. A sound and brilliant reply. Someone is enforcing a judgement of a court, and you are telling him to vacate the premises because you are a Governor. Is the Governor bigger than the law? Whoever loses his house to this judgement should sue the Lagos Govt for selling to him or her an encumbered land.

By the way, some idiots here are applauding the Governor for interrupting a court backed process. It is when you get a judgement against the govt, and it is time to enforce it, that is when you will remember that your comment here were out of ignorance or foolishness.

What has enforcing judgement of the court got to do with security and you being a chief security officer of your state? The Police are only there to protect the Bailiffs (Sheriffs) in enforcing the judgement.

Most sensible and intelligent comment on that from page.

Almost everyone else just commenting like fools.

Sanwo Olu knows that the officer was taking orders from a superior authority and no police officers with balls is going to take orders from any governor but the IGP.

Might be wrong but that's how the security is structured in this country.

Sanwo Olu should have just called Abuja instead of issuing a command to the officers.


Wike this Wike that. I laugh.

No governor can stand a police officer or army officer with a mandate from Abuja.

Those of Us in Portharcout know how Wike has been crying about police in Rivers state since 2015.

We know how CP Akin Fakorede disrespected Wike in Rivers...

Sensational journalism. The man is just telling the governor that he is just a junior officer acting under orders and that he is too low an officer to call the attorney general Malami. He is basically appealing to the governor to call Malami directly.

Don't mind them.

They are the leaders of tomorrow. We bash out government today but it's very evident from our behaviour how we would behave if we become leaders...

Hope you are one of those BMC idiot or zombified apc e rats who's stock in trade is to spread lies and misinformation? That fakorede was oc sars who fled River state as soon as wike became the governor

AmazingELixir:



If this is what it takes for state chief executives to close ranks and fight for state police ...then it's a blessing in disguise.

As far as I'm concerned the Nigeria police as presently constituted is a failed institution.

Can all the state afford to pay them well?

See as my Gov dey speak English… haa, i trust Wike or the former Gov. Ayodele Fayose… their voice and body language lasan.. na immediately IG go call to vacate the place..

alizma:

Keep quiet and listen, have you not heard governors, including Wike, complaining that certain security personnel were sent to their state to project certain objective that is contrary to the governor's view? Does that tell you something or not?
Both in developed countries ( because I know you guys will soon come with your regular language, in a sane country) there is limit and the kind of security personnel that can be controlled by the state government.

Listen here kid bro, the governors as the CSO of their states have every right to deal with anybody that fails to heed to their instructions and they also have a say in who comes into the state as a security personnel.

OriOko88:

Make una stop all tbis if na wike ..he would do tbis and that... Theres nothing wike would do if he was the one here. D csp action and presesnce there was legal. He was enforcing a court order and nobody is above the law. D reply he gave sanwoolu was appropriate a direct. He was instructed by the igp through d agf to enforce d supreme court order. So what will wike do. Slap him or bundle him Make una dey reason objectively abeg. D state governOrs are answerable to d fg. So whT?

What are you saying? The governors are CSO of their states and you dare not go against their instructions. He has every right to tell the security personnel to stay off there.

yesloaded:
There's more to this magodo brouhaha

You people should stop encouraging thuggery and violence. When we have thugs in government, the people bear the brunt.

What happened here explains why Nigeria needs state police.

That's a general problem in nigeria ...disrespecting younger people in authority
