When crime rises as in the case of Kaduna people will defend Governor Rufi saying the police and military answer directly to President Buhari. The governors like shifting responsibility on the president when ever possible saying the FG needs to do XYZ. The title of Chief security officer is merely a title.

Curiously when it comes to imprisonment it's suddenly the governors fault even though police and prisons fall under the federal apparatus. When court orders are disobeyed regarding the release of Mubarak Bala why is the governor at fault? The violation of rights is the fault of the head of these agencies. If the people violating rights aren't punished you have to assume their behavior is supported by the president.

If the governors do have the power to control who gets out prison they shouldn't get a pass when crime spikes. Why do you only have power in one aspect of law enforcement. It seems like a convenient way to take all the credit and none if the responsibility.

Well he did claim he can't order the military to attack the igbos. I do agree they're have influence over what goes on. It does interest me that stuff like this doesn't spur areas like this to Succeed and the neighboring state. Its much easier that creating new states.
