has criticised the PDP Governors’ Forum over the latter’s agitation for devolution of more powers to states to enhance security across the country.
In a communique released after its meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Monday, the governors condemned the growing attacks on Nigeria’s security formations and considered the need for an immediate meeting of the Nigerian Police Council to brainstorm on ways to counter threats to national security.The southern governors, seven of whom are APC members, faulted President Muhammadu Buhari’s approach to the worrisome state of security in Nigeria.
At least two police stations were attacked in the South-east states of the country by gunmen, a development that further cast doubt on the government’s ability to protect the citizens., alluded that states would be more secure if power was devoted to them “with respect to security arrangements culminating in some form of state policing and the general security architecture.
He said the resolution was laced with ‘misplaced name calling and abuses’ rather than actual review of Nigeria’s current situation. “Going by the communique issued by the Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, at the end of its meeting on Monday, it is unfortunate that the PDP governors chose to engage in misplaced name calling and abuses instead of seizing a golden opportunity provided by the meeting to offer meaningful and patriotic contributions on the review of the state of the nation.
