Makinde charges federal, state lawmakers to demand state police
Oyo Governor, Seyi Makinde, has urged national and state assembly members to join the call for the establishment of state police.
Makinde said safety does not recognize parties or religions, noting that the insecurity in Nigeria must be tackled collectively.
The governor made the remarks at the 30th Anniversary of Ibadan Golf Club, held at Apata, Ibadan, that state capital, on Saturday.
Makinde charged the legislative arm at the national and state levels to make the issue of State Police a priority in their chambers.
“When things happen, hardly will they ask whether you are PDP or APC or whether you are a Christian or a Muslim”, he said.
“Governors will come and go. We are pushing for state police because we believe it is going to be a game-changer for the people.
“Call your Senators, members of the House of Representatives and state assemblies, irrespective of their party affiliation, ask them to do something.”
Makinde recalled going round to take responsibility for some of the incidents recorded in some parts of Oyo.
He stressed that the government cannot wholly guarantee security unless the people play their parts.
The governor advised residents to expose persons or groups working against their well-being.
