The way you deceived us on 30billion naira

The obvious truth coming from the people's Governor himself.

Makinde should also explain what he spent the #30b he got from the FG on

Almost everything under this government has turned out to be a scam or regular incompetence. Can't he resign?

The crook in aso rock knows exactly the political games he is playing state police is definitely not his major priority for now we have seen bills that perfectly serves his personal interests being passed within just few days in the nass.

What is RSS? RSS is still Federal police or you think it's a different police. It's a just a squad just like Sars or tactical squd

WizardOfNG:
Lagos does not need Amotekun because it has RRS Tinubu created, while Governor, that the State funds.

Amotekun in Lagos would be duplication of effort and spending which does not make sense because RRS has been commendable making and keeping Lagos safe.

When we tell you lot to give Tinubu his dues, for his many stellar achievements, you'll be arguing and talking up the empty Agulu charlatan and failure Obi.

See below to note Tinubu created RRS as soon as he became Governor.

Any state police formation that doesn't include safeguards to minimize the influence of political office holders is a recipe for disaster

Image123:
You missed the whole point, you probably didn't read. Lagos never needed Amotekun as they already had neighborhood watch. Tinubu was the one that advised the other states on how to get Amotekun and get the nod of the then FG.

If Seyi Makinde had any sense of seriousness and responsibility for his state, he wouldn't be playing politics. Wike never needed Amotekun or any regional group to clear out nonsense. He wasn't doing begibegi or playing helpless that he didn't get help from Buhari.

This was how Wike dealt with ipob and other kidnappers in RIVERS STATE, even then that he was Buhari’s nemesis.. but

Tinubu advised who on Amotekun? Why do you guys enjoy inserting your god into everything like this?
Can you tell us why the so-called neighbourhood watch was not codified into Lagos laws until 2016?
Has Wike ever faced banditry and terrorism in his state?
Do you mean Akeredolu was not a good gov? Because he also complained about not getting help from Buhari. So did Ortom and a host of other govs.
Neighbourhood watch cannot battle banditry. It only shows you don't know what you're saying

Mumu talk, playing to gallery, Nigerian governors are like children. They can't handle their position. The presidency have since okayed state police, lazy governors say they can't pay police salaries, instead of this one to liase with NSA, Senate and attorney general to finalise the process, he is using it to play cheap politics and their sycophants and zombies will cheer him. Useless political office holders.

DonFreshmoney:
Makinde has a point there. Tinubu is just playing to the gallery with the state police. Watch him use state police to campaign for 2027 then abandon it if he wins. The question is why didnt Lagos join their sister states to create Amotekun?

Lagos already have neighbourhood watch in existence before the creation of amotekun and it will be illogical to create another security architecture when we already have one in place and beside Lagos does not have large forest reserves unlike our sister states that have large forest reserves where bandits can hibernate

AMINDA:
What suggestion? That was the late Akeredolu's intervention. How could he have made the suggestion when Lagos state remains the only Southwestern state without Amotekun? He's probably waiting until after the elections before granting state police, if at all. He clearly doesn't trust the governors with such enormous powers for now or may even be nursing life presidency. Someone who has invested so much resources in comsolidating power and capturing all institutions of state will not be thinking about relinquishing any aspect of power.

The zoning arrangement between the north and south will never make tinibu ever think of such that's definitely going to cause a major political crises in nigeria. Nigeria is not cameroon, rwanda or uganda where such is comfortably practiced.

You obviously didn't read, i urge you to go back to read. The criminals Wike handled are terrorists and their modus operandi is not much different. Their boss is cooling off in Sokoto and they took to their heels from Rivers state when Wike ran riot on them. Neighborhood watch or Amotekun were created to work hand in hand with authority. You obviously don't know what they faced with FG.

Emmy000seun:
Right from time Lagos is not lacking behind in security.. infact Lagos has two to three security outfit.. neighborhood, RRS, police, RRS is different from police...If you get used to Lagos you will realize RRS police operate differently unlike the regular police..very polite, decent and always clean...not like the regular police....their office is at Alausa

Hahahaha
This dude said RRS is different from police
So how do you get recruited into RRS pls
I want to join
So many brainwashed ignorant folks parading the Internet

Stop telling lies. You can tell us those that were killed or kidnapped in Rivers as a result of the criminals you claimed Wike handled
It's obvious you've never come across Amotekun especially in Oyo state which is why you equate it with neighborhood watch that's more or less like a security guard outfit
Even the neighborhood watch was not codified into Lagos laws until 2016.
RRS is from Operation sweep
Amotekun was brought out by Akeredolu. Was he a failed gov too? Stop deceiving yourself

Lol. Will it be a more major political crisis than the current state of insecurity in the country? There is no zoning arrangement between the North and the South. Zoning is purely a matter within political parties, notably the PDP. Ojukwu contested the 2007 presidential elections after 8 years of Obasanjo and Northerners did not ask him to step down. Buhari contested 4 consecutive presidential elections before winning and no one cried about zoning. Don't buy into the propaganda of zoning. Only Northern APC members will cry about zoning in 2031 if Tinubu wins and fails to concede power to the North. The signs are already there. Northerners always speak with their votes, not noise.

AMINDA:
Okay, Einstein. So does Lagos state have Amotekun right now or not? If not, why not? Was it because someone was scared of provoking the fulanis because of votes or because someone was scared of losing their political grip on Lagos that is currently being reinforced through the use of thuggery? Which one? Seyi Makinde is not a coward.

"Amotekun was our stop-gap for State Police. Lagos didn't join because Tinubu didn't want Amotekun. FG should stop wasting our time and stop asking the IG of Police to establish State Police" - Governor Seyi Makinde tells President Bola Tinubu pic.twitter.com/dWQzVAuQN3

Oyo state that has the amotekun how safe are they ?

It was inside oyo bandits attacked but instead of you to call out the ineptitude of the governor and his branch of amotekun, it is lagos you are pointing to along with the governor, can you see that sense is far from you guys .

State police is an agenda against our fulani lords. We are against it. Our fulani masters must be satisfied at all times. If you are not okay with that, leave nigeria for us

Parachoko:

How many times you wan make he explain, the victims were compensated and the 30bn is said to be in a bank account they provided the number

now when will Tinubu give account of subsidy money saved, when will he give account of over 15trillion borrowed in 12month to Nigerians or na im papa money we dont have right to ask

I can never understands this guyz supporting Tinubu govt .. You can imagine trillion is missing in Nnpc oo ! weyrey is after 30bn because Seyi dey tackle his Boss .. Smh

Who is decieving who ? Every state has state police at the moment,I don’t know why they still want federal approval probably because of payroll,All these nonsense wouldn’t happen if it was Ajimobi Goverment or the local Goverment is functional

franchasofficia:
Things are happening oh. The truth is gradually being exposed.

We said it that only a fully functional and well equipped state Police joined with high level community Policing and Localized Forest Guards can reduce this insecurity in Nigeria. Yet the so called President dont want a fully independent State Police because of his usual politics.


Are we sure that FG is not the sponsor of this insecurity of a thing for political gain?


Why should IG of Police who is the head of Federal Police be the one to create state Police for states? Make the law to empower states to create their own Police and allow State House of Assemblies to create State Police for their respective states.


Federal Police should be restricted to guarding Federal highways, Federal government institutions and facilities.

You said it all.

AMINDA:
Mumbo jumbo. Is Tinubu not the Commander-in-Chief again or does he think that only involves hounding and incarcerating opposition figures? Since state police or even Amotekun is now the silver bullet to all insecurity challenges, why hasn't Tinubu passed it into law or is he waiting until after the elections? That's the same question Seyi Makinde is asking.

"When it comes to issues of security, the bulk stops at the president's desk" - Bola Tinubu to Goodluck Jonathan

No one has said state police is the silver bullet. i have said Makinde should stop playing politics and do something about securing his state. i have said Tinubu supported Amotekun and gave them the advice they needed to be legal as at today. Ask AI to cure your remaining problems. i can't waste my time doing that if you cannot do basic work.

Keep deceiving yourself.

It means some of us are still right to say the Federal government complicit in matters arising from banditry and kidnapping. A friend came to my house yesterday and he argued against this position stating that it’s the state governors that should be held accountable in all these. That the Nigerian federal government allocates monthly security votes to them. And when I checked I met it that way. And today, answers to my questions came alive. Because I can’t stop thinking, why is banditry and kidnapping appears insurmountable despite all the liquid capital allocated for national security. The truth is gradually coming out. I will share this post with my friend.

Have you also said that Tinubu should do his job and secure the country? Why push Tinubu's responsibilities to Seyi Makinde? Does Seyi Makinde control the security apparatus? Or you expect him to secure his state against AK 47 wielding terrorists using amotekun and forest guards with dane guns? Yesterday it was Kwara, today it's Oyo. Continue to blame the governors.

Image123:
Makinde is an hypocrite here. It's still Tinubu that made the suggestion that he's bragging about.

https://www.thecable.ng/breaking-tinubu-finally-breaks-silence-on-amotekun/

Stop saying what you don't know the whole idea of Amotekun was from Akeredolu and Seyi Makinde precisely Akeredolu championed it, they went to Tinubu for advice in 2020 is Akeredolu not a member of APC they launched it Ibadan then , Buhari opposed the idea then so Tinubu is not the brain behind Amotekun he only advice them when to him as an elder state man ..

Even the blinds know that the insecurity in the country are being sponsored by the oppositions parties in Nigeria, why did you think the mass kidnapping similar to the template they used against Jonathan administration happened in Oyo state, where the governor is having issues with the federal government? It's because no ruling party state governors will subscribe to this kind of charade against tinubu, makinde is a willing tools in the hands of opposition and I pity him

Parachoko:

What is the relevance of that to this topic
Go and peel melon seed if the discussion is too complex for you

Parachoko:

From the same intervention funds where Makinde got 30 billion out of the approved 50 billion to repair Bodija after the bomb blast, Sanwo-olu got 150 billion even though there was no bomb blast in Lagos. Have you asked Sanwo-olu to explain how he spent the 150 billion or was the 30 billion to Oyo meant to be hush money? Seyi Makinde is not a coward.
