It will be recalled that at the meeting of the governors of the 36 states in Abuja last month, all the governors opted for state police as a panacea for ending rising insecurity in the country.

However, the 19 northern governors met a few days after and kicked against the idea of state police, saying that they were ready to work with the existing police force.

Idiots, why won't they kick against it, north would be worse, if they should agree, cos boko haram will be their DPO's, then north will be anexed to hell, when the FG has jst a little stake in their security..

I guess d Govs did re-assessment of the current security situations and how their region is been affected cum the long term benefit of central policing before arriving at their new submission. Good one, Nigeria is not ripe for state policing.
