Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said it will take the creation of state police to tackle the insecurity problem facing the nation.
Obasanjo said nation building could only be achieved when government was able to guarantee a safe environment for citizens. The ex-President spoke on Friday in Lagos during a lecture titled, ‘Social responsibility in nation building,’ which he delivered at the 78th anniversary of Island Club. He said, “I have said it before and I will say it again. Nigeria should have state police in all the states so that they can adequately tackle insecurity. Guaranteeing citizens a safe environment and round security is one thing a government must do.
“No nation can be built where peace, security and stability are not assured or guaranteed and with reasonable predictability of the President and the future not enthroned.”He added said, “Any government that is deaf, dumb and blind is a government that will not last. As a government, you need to listen to the people. If you fail to listen to the people, the day of reckoning will come for you and it will come soon. We can see it all around us; it has come.
E be like say Baba just dey wake up
These ex-military men are our greatest problem, don't be surprised if Gowon comes out as a presidential candidate,or TY danjuma anointing someone that will become the next president. It's a turn by turn amongst these ex generals
You want to give fulani heart problems.
Why u no do during ur tenure
He has had 3 chances to put the nation right, yet still making proposal from the outskirt. How ridiculous? I wouldn’t give his proposal a thought 😡
Evil people these was among what Ojukwu initiated that cause civil war they killed our people unjustly, now it’s coming up gradually but it’s too late… Biafra or nothing.
OlusegunObasnjo why not tell the world that Nigeria expired 100yrs back. The indegenous are saying, there will be no Nigeria 2023
Finally, he agrees. How times change indeed!
This same Baba fought the State Govs during his reign as President cuz of state police. Hypocrisy and ment in one. As always, Nigeria's leaders know the solutions to our problems after leaving office. This man withheld LG funds for Lagos cuz of LCDA. What a wawu !
Who has bribed him to agree with this? He permitted sharia and this nonsense in Nigeria
Mad people everywhere!! After wasting Nigerias 8 yrs and u didn't realize this?
Lenu yin sir?
I suppose the state policemen will be recruited from Heaven and not from the deeply corrupt citizens who have little or no moral compass. Efcc ,road safety etc all compromised.
