Ishaku made the call in Jalingo while answering questions from journalists shortly after he flagged off the distribution of fertilizers, seedlings, and Agrochemicals for Taraba farmers for the 2019 farming season.
“The constitution did not place the security architecture of the country in the hands of Governors. I am praying myself for peace and I have also asked the people of the state to pray for peace in the state,” he said. According to him, Taraba has great agricultural potential and his administration will leverage on the potential to make millions in the state through Rice and other produce for the good of the people.
Truth is bitter.
But sir, can governors do anything about security vote?
So, why do governors keep collecting security vote
Unbelievable....
The governors are the main root of insecurity in this country. They should be answerable to it
It's a shame that a chief security officer in charge of a state could openly say this.This is the kind of people Nigerians choose as leaders.
The sound of a failed entity
So don't just collect any money for it. Kukuma stop collecting security vote
Is Nigeria operating a unitary or federal system of Government
What's your paramount responsibility then
Then return all security votes since you assumed office and bulletproof cars. 419 governor
... of course we all know that the security votes to governors weren't for the security of your citizens when command is central but a conscious thank you from d center for staying on d line or for buying your loyalty... sharing of national cake amongst the governors/stakeholders
Really....too bad to say such
Who is this? But you are collecting hefty security votes!
Imagine the kind of people we chose to rule us, gutter mouthed governor
If governors said they can not do anything about security, then their security vote or money must be stop now now
That's my boy! But you can receive security vote.
Where is your security votes going to?
chinex1000 Harrassing the govnor? give him a break! Tackle the constitution and the FG. Security votes help but not the soln. Security control is it.
But you can keep scooping up the security votes abi. Oloshi.
Then you should stop collecting the illegal 'securityvotes', and refund all you have collected since it was not used for the purpose.
True.. U cant resign.
He will collect security vote, and put it in your savings account. Very bad of you.
Then you should be voted out
But you are chief security of your state.
Except collect and spend security vote. Even that is enough. THIEF.
You can use your security votes wisely by spending it to boost security infrastructure, install CCTV cameras at strategic places, adequate Vehicles & fuel for police operation...
If governors can not do anything about security, then they should outlaw security vote. You can't be collecting billions as security vote & be making such irresponsible statements. This is shamefully self indicting.
It's only in my country you hear this kind of stupid talk from a person that supposed to make sure the life of the citizens his govern on is safe, after collecting security vote every time, Shameless Gov. you should have resigned like yesterday, unfit to be governor
Your presence doesn’t worth it if you cannot protect your ppl as a governor of the state
This is shockingly scary. It's a statement of disclaimer, unwillingness and unconcerned attitude towards governance. Not sure the electorates bargained for this.
Thank you for being sincere to us... But what a great SHAME to hear this
Foolish talk. Can u imaging the people ruling us. Bsc in writing but they reason like school cert holder
Speak for your state!... who is “we”..some gov are proactive abt security in their state .Taraba people still dey look while u vomit this kind nonsense?! Just sell the state and share the money among the people since there is nothing you can do to stop the killing in your state!
Ijiiot
Wahala dey, emperor of a state say there is nothing he can do about security of his state. What is he doing with millions of naira in his monthly state allocation. He must be silly.
Yet collect billions as security votes. Shameless set of people.
Return the security gators which will be enough to fund the army or police in each of the states...
Then you people should stop collecting security vote na🙄
When the President can't even come on national TV to speak about the Insecurity.... How will a Governor have an idea of what to do when it looms... Nigeria 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Aye ooooo.. Mr. Governor why were you voted in the first place?
But there's something you can do with security vote.
GOD
However, you pocket the security votes right Stoopid!
Reality. We should all see it objectively from their point of view. They can't authorise, direct or review security operations. The max they can do is to advise and mobilise, d Constitution has made them child kings, ceremonial CSOs. Police don't take instructions from Govs!
As a governor do you need to collect security vote?
Mad man
That's means u didn't supposed to be called your excellence
Islamization
So, you have no business being at hemp of affairs as governor.
Then resign and stop this foolishness.
That's bcos you know NOTHING about governing
That's a fact and that's why the system has to be restructured. And that we have state police and have the federal police play a more secondary role.
What you can do is to tackle the root cause of insecurity which is unemployment
At least, he's being truthful. The center needs to be decentralized as it is and this is impossible without Constitutional amendment. That's my take away from what the governor said. Unless, a lot of folks can read and NOT comprehend.
Dis country na scammers
There’s a lot you can do; you all receive security vote. So, what’re you using the money for. Employ your citizens as special vigilante group to tackle the bandits.
Chaaiiiii.... Taraba people... Naaa die una dey. See person wey una elect as una governor. Chaaiiiii dere is God opioid.
Wait till the time they want to remove a speaker of the house of assembly, then you will see governors being able to move a platoon of force men. They know what to do when it suits their purpose.
Use ur security vote to curb insecurity in d state and stop be self-centered
MizCazorla1 The gov is right judging by our current lopsided; partisan, regional & religiously tilted security & mute action by FG to act in grave situation by governors.Ortom cried for prorection of his people against genocide by killers Fulani herdsmen is one example.. FG was mute
What is this one saying
What a vote of no confidence from such man..what happen to the security votes been shared on monthly basis🤔
I think governors are the chief security officer(CSO) of their respective states. Or is it a misunderstanding?
But as governors, y'all can always do something when it comes to money
What a shame.
Everybody just dey shy away from taking responsibility Nigeria don finish. 🤣🤣
MizCazorla1 Well, he is saying the truth. With the kind of president we have now theres absolutely nothing they can do
Say it without crying, oponu
why will a Governor who collects security vote every month claim helplessness? politicians use's bucket to fetch from the treasury while the citizens are left with tooth pick and you claim ignorant!
What he is trying to tell his people is “ every man for himself”😐
Then why are you there? and what are you collecting security votes for since you can't do anything about security as a Governor?
Please Mr Governor return all the security vote you collected from tax payers .
The security vote should be scrapped
Hmmmmmm! But you guys collects billions as security votes. I wonder what business you guys have being governors then.
Can you imagine a Nigeria GOVERNOR who has nothing less than 20 armed security details. When I say the leadership is where the problems of this country comes from,u will start typing rubbish with your tecno fone
Meaning we should all start carrying weapons to defend ourselves from attacks.
Mumu talk
This is the senseless statement i have ever heard from governors...Your responsiblity as a governor is to provide security of life and properties of people you are taking control over ....Moreover what is the billions of naira you governors collect as security allowance spent on
How this man became the governor, I’m still trying to get my head around it.If this is the best idea he can come up with to deal with the security situation in the state he was elected to govern, then the state I’m afraid is in for more sad days ahead
THEN, WHAT IS THE SECURITY VOTE ALLOCATED TO THEM MEANT FOR?
Are the state governors really the chief security officer of their states? Does Commisioners of police take order from State governor? Answer is NO. Now tell me how you expect them to solve security problems in their states. State police is the solution.
And you are a leader in power? God help us
But u collect security vote and pocket it. Oloribuku pple.
And you are collecting security vote?
God save Nigeria and Nigerians if someone reasoning and making statements like this,was actually voted in, and expected to contribute to the development of that country
He sounded like the fool he actually looks like
Gov. Ishaku, the more reason why the Federation called Nigeria needs restructuring. Too much power is concentrated in Aso Rock.
But u can collect security vote? Unserious
But you can do something with the security vote that you collect ,useless people that can't think outside the box
we are finished in this country 😱
That's so wrong... You're the chief security officer of the state.... Disappoint a governor is saying so...
But you can pocket the security vote funds for personal use.
But why are u collecting security vote
How much again do these crooks get as security vote monthly
Then stop collecting security vote
But you would be quick as governors to collect security votes.
