President Bola Tinubu has again expressed his
administration’s resolve to establish state police to tackle the ravaging
security crisis in the country.
The President restated his backing for state police on
Tuesday when he held a closed-door meeting with a delegation from Plateau
State, led by Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
It was learnt that the meeting was a follow-up to the
President’s recent visit to the state in the aftermath of the Palm Sunday
attack in Angwan Rukuba, Jos.
Addressing the stakeholders, Tinubu urged them to implement
a white paper “that you have, go through it, and agree to implement those white
papers”, adding, “any naughty issues, bring it back”.
According to him, creating state police would end parts of
the security problems in the country, stressing that for the creation of
widows, widowers and orphans to stop, there must be peace.
He said, “Through the legislators that are here, we are
going to work together, to establish state police. I believe that when we have
state police, enforcement of law and order will take care of some of these
problems.
“For us to stop creating widows, widowers, orphans, there
must be peace. It is very tough to develop if you don’t have peace.”
