New security initiatives by regions will assist police job, says Babatope

And any party, whether the ruling All Progressives Congress or Peoples Democratic Party or whatever under a normal democracy should be prepared to run government affairs to benefit the people. Unfortunately, what we have today is the criminal manipulation of elections by the APC, and with the fact that PDP that I belong to is not doing well, one can say our democracy will, or is running into problem.

I say this because ordinary national chairmanship election under the PDP was mismanaged. I am a PDP member and will remain so until I die, but that is what is happening. However, I believe there is hope now that the young men presently running PDP have affirmed to Nigerians that they are going to ensure that normalcy is brought back to the party before the next general election.It is just the chairmanship election. We didn’t do well, when we were trying to organise the chairmanship election.

You can imagine what is happening in Edo State. The APC has appointed Chief Bisi AKande to reconcile Governor Godwin Obaseki and the National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, but in PDP, we discard that experience. We trample on experience and maturity, as if they mean nothing to political governance and democracy. One person, who has done so well, I must confess, is former governor of Bayelsa State Seriake Dickson. He shows total respect for elders.

I was just telling some boys that when President Buhari locked us up after the 1983 coup, I served in Kirikiri and from there to Jos and to Yola Prisons. The Ibrahim Babangida government later released me from Yola Prison in 1985, and I travelled all the way from Yola in Adamawa State through Jos to come and board a plane to Lagos. Nothing like what we now witness was on the roads then.

The Yoruba people believe in Nigeria, but all we are saying is that things should be done properly. So, when we talk of restructuring, it is not the question of asking for Oduduwa Republic, but a question of restructuring or redefining the federal nature of our country’s existence, to make sure we have a solid country and by so doing, we can tackle all the challenges facing the country and move it forward.

But when the civil war was fought, some people believed Nigeria must remain a permanent extension of their private family compound. That was the issue that caused the civil war, and then after the war, Gen. Yakubu Gowon launched the three Rs to pull the country together, but again, all these things faded away.
