Chairman of Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Tuesday declared that the quest for the creation of state police by some governors, groups and individuals in the country was not intended to undermine the existing Federal Police, the Nigeria Police Force.

Fayemi, who is also the Governor of Ekiti State made this declaration while speaking at a security summit, tagged, “Stakeholders’ security summit: Focus on Western Nigeria” held in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The summit, which was organised by the Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN) Commission, had all the six governors from the region, Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Gboyega Oyetola (Osun) Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and Fayemi (Ekiti) in attendance.

Others were security chiefs, traditional rulers, leaders of thought and prominent groups within the region among whom are a former deputy governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, Chief Gani Adams, Secretary of Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), Dr. Kunle Olajide, Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejuyigbe and Olukare of Ikare-Akoko Oba Akadiri Momoh among others.

The list also included, Dr. Femi Majekodunmi, Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulraseed Adewale Akanbi, AIG in charge of Zone 11 which consists of Oyo, Osun and Ekiti, Mr. Leye Oyebade, Commissioners of Police in the six states, among others.

Fayemi while speaking maintained that clamour for state police by governors in the region, groups and individuals across the country, is not intended to undermine or abolish the already existing federal police.

The NGF Chairman while remarking that the security situation in the country has warranted that each state has its own police, insisted that the exiting federal police and the state police would work together when states are allowed to have their own police.

He maintained that what was obtainable in other countries where federalism is being practiced is that, federal and state police work without engaging in unhealthy rivalry.

He added that he is of the opinion that federal and state police would work to complement each others’ efforts without any rivalry, as he insisted that the quest is not against the already existing federal police or to undermine it or to abolish it.

Fayemi said, “Our clamor for state police is not intended to abolish federal police. They go side by side anywhere in the world. Our call for state police is not to abolish the existing Nigeria Police force.

“In all the meetings, I have been attending is, security. Even your Governors last week, we were in Abuja last week, when the National Economic Council was inaugurated, we have only one agenda, it is security.

“Our quest for state police is not tantamount to abolition of federal police.

“We have deployed drone system in order to ensure that criminal elements are tamed. Wherever they are, we will track them.

“We must tackle poverty in the region; we must tackle poverty in our midst. All hands must be on the deck to ensure that we stop the criminal elements in our midst.”

That feeling when u buy akara with ur last 100... when u gat home u sat down eating the akara and it's so sweet..... may be na the hunger wey dey worry you dey make the akara sweet......and u finally eat the last one.....in your mind u are thinking why would this akara finish....when all hopes are lost ...u are abt to throw the nylon away and miracles from heaven happen....u see one remaining hidden akara

Xx

Fayemi my guy.

Drone ko Drake ni

Nigerian leaders formula for office

Talk 70%
Traveling 27%
Real work 3%

Result = Fail

Drones, Spy/intel satellites needed

If they work together then Nigeria police will always be corrupt.

we need state police and true federalism, this Unitary system giving central government too much power isn't doing us any good, and all thanks to Aguyi Ironsi it wouldn't have been like this.

If Chicago decides to kill each other with their gun violence , its non of the business of Washington metro police or NYPD

Same as a state like Dubai and Abudhabi are growing real fast and Ajman, sharjah and Alain are not drawing them back


.

Shit

As long as they can pay salaries, is fine.

It's high time the Federal Government see State Policing as a viable option in solving communities insecurity in Nigeria.

Hmm

Buhari will never give you state police because if he does the fulanization agenda will not work.

so that they can turn their offices to arsenal. many of them have not been able to pay their workers salary, the police are extorting masses when they are been paid regularly by fg, what will now happen when the state government start owing them 3 to 6 months salary? i guess they will legalize robbery.

Let them know, since they reason with their anus

This is a right call. But my frustration with our leaders has always been the poor action that follows. Security issues in this country requires urgent and careful attention.

We have a gross situation of internal unrest induced by poverty and external invasion caused by years of bad leadership.

We must ensure security is guaranteed now or we'll find ourselves in a situation where people will start to arm themselves in preparedness for the unknown.

State police is a good idea....if they can fund it, and if the tribalism, and religion issues are ironed out as well.

The truth is, most states cannot fund a state police. Unless we remove subsides, and take extra loans for the 'vanity project'.

Seyi Makinde the slayer of Tinubu and Akala

Stop talking, let your lawmakers push the motion forward. Enough of the talking. Action is now necessary. It will inevitably swallow you and your family if you think you are immune. You can ask the health minister...

NIGERIA SHOULD BE RESTRUCTURED INTO A TRUE FEDERATION WITH FISCAL FEDERALISM, RESOURCE CONTROL AS THE BENCHMARK.

STATES IN NIGERIA SHOULD CUT THEIR CLOTH ACCORDING TO THEIR MATERIAL.

TooNoisy:
I am 100% in support of State police. That is the norm in most parts of the developed world. The Federal Government clearly cannot manage the Police Force and often use it to harass perceived enemies. The States should be allowed to provide additional security and to compliment what we already have. The police force does not have enough men and they are very poorly trained.

If you think the federal government are on their part manipulating the police, wait till governors have the same opportunity. We tend to abuse every nice concept we copy.

The Governor's should go ahead and create state police.

They don't need permission from the government.

Just like lastma.

If all SW governors should do this simultaneously there is nothing the FG can do about it.

Those things that were deployed are not proper drones. All a criminal will need is a catapult and a steady aim.

I picked two things here.
Nigeria is still a developing country
If the Federal Government often use police to harass perceived enemies, imagine what will be the norm in 36+ states.

Governors are already acting like mini God's adding state police to that will be too much at this stage of democracy in Nigeria.

Imagine if Rochas Okorocha OR Yahaya Bello had total control of police in their states?
