Demdem: The Retardeen is basically telling us that he simply doesn't believe in True federalism. Only the wise can discern this. These are steps that needs to be taken if truly we want to achieve this. Federal police should go alongside State police and FG should relinquish a substantial sum from the centre to the states for such.
His primary reason about governors abusing it is ridiculous and there are several ways to go by this. How do u expect an Aboki man from the north to properly police my Niger-delta area appropriately? The best person for such a job should be inhabitants of such areas, simple.

PEREP:
I heard LASTMA now have a financial target in Lagos and you can imagine a Lagos State Police fully armed with targets. We should not hide behind this issue of foreigners policing the locals because a Lagos of today is known by foreigners than even the locals themselves. All we need is intelligence gathering by having more efficient police officers without uniforms and the job ll be done. If the guys fighting the BH in Maiduguri stay with the people and known, they will simply execute almost all of them overnight. The current structure is better.

merengue: Wasn't it under a federal police structure that the brigandage of Andy Uba in Anambra happened? If we had state police, would Tafa Balogun, Kenny Martins, Jemibowon and co have stolen as much as they did? People ask for true federalism, they ask for resource control yet they want the very corrupt centre to continue providing security for a population of 150m plus? We've seen times without number how police commissioners posted to new offices struggle to perform due to their limited understanding of the terrain. We must have fiscal federalism, we must have resource control and we must be willing to take the responsibilities that come with it. What it means is that for every pickpocket in Mushin, every armed robbery attack in Asaba, every bomb blast in Maiduguri, every kidnap incident in Aba, every communal clash in Jos, GEJ and every other president that comes after him under this present structure should be blamed and not the governors in these places.

DELTA BOY: if the fear is election, is it not d same gej who attempted rig Edo election for PDP.

DELTA BOY: It is a lie, governors cannot abuse it because the police are part of the people too. Gadafy tried to use libya army against d people but refused

licensed2k: i think i'll sit on jonathan side of d fence ds tym. . .we've not even had it yet and some stupid governor lyk aregbesola are using them already to pursue their personal ambition. . .if u dare u cant imagine how his zombie operatives are harassin and beatin our youths black and blue on the streets. . .what he's doin is wrong and d way he chose to implement it is just too wrong. . .

bola4dprec: Section 214 of 1999 constitution refer, There shall be Police force for Nigeria,which shall be known as Nigeria Police Force, and subject to the provision of this section no other police shall be established for the federation or any part thereof. state police ko local police ni

Super1759: He is absolutely right. Take a look at the state level, what the gov and their workers are doing. they will just use the police as their dogs and force down their decisions.
Police will turn to be vigilantees, I know what TA orji can do.

Abagworo: I think our criticisms is starting to have an effect on GEJ and is making him sit up. He is so 100% spot on. State Police will make Governors attain a demi-god status.
