The office of state Governors as enshrined in Nig constitution is a highly exalted position. A state Governor manages the affairs of his state, and is generally regarded as the chief security officer of the state. The federal govt in recognition of his role in the maintenance of peace and order, makes provision for security vote (money) for these GOvernors. This security vote runs into billions of naira. The money is primarily for them to have a smooth atmosphere, necessary for smooth administration. The question then is, what role have these Govs played in restoring peace, especially in the troubled north?

The Govs go home with this money, yet they do nothing. They are closer to the people, yet they tend to be helpless in the face of violence and terrorism. They control the LG Chairmen, who are much more closer to the grassroot yet, they can't help in the fight against terrorism. Is their silence a conspiracy against GEJ? Or are the terrorist more powerful than the Govs? Are the Govs not on ground? Should the Govt continue the payment of security vote to the Govs even when they cannot guarantee the safety of their people?

they shud b accountable for the money, all funds released shud b recorded...cos the govs also hav a vital role interms of protecting their indigenes.

These Govs appear to be sleeping, someone should help wake them up
