TRUSTING OUR GOVERNORS WITH AK47

The legislators opposing establishment of state police have their reasons for doing. But before you join in buying their narratives, remember they move in armed convoys who protect them and their families while me and you are left at the mercy of bandits, kidnappers and all sort of vulnerabilities you can mention.

If you can understand, the major concern of some of the vocal legislators is safety and assurances of votes during electoral circles which happens once in  4 years. This, they see a threat and perceive that Governors may use the proposed state police against political opponents. But would this be the case if those legislators share the same political party as the Governor? Is that a sustainable stand in the interest of national security or a partisan and personal interest built on fear and self?

Our concern meanwhile as citizens should be our personal and communal security which matters every single minute of our lives. This is where the debate for the establishment of state Police comes.

Going by this, it shows we have two different interests to align with and in reality everyone will choose the one that serves them most. So it's no crime some legislators oppose this bill, but it becomes surprising that even amidst the inadequate manpower in NPF and armed forces, some vulnerable are championing the crusade against a move that's meant to improve the security architecture of the country.

Know your priorities. Set out for them.

Is either we choose to stay in peace for 4 years while we work out ways to defend our votes against the perceived use of the state police, or we die in the hands of bandits while our elections (which sometimes is marred by irregularities, violence and may reflect the true votes) remain safe after every 4 years.

2023: Catholics Berate Lalong Over Attempt To Drag Pope Into Politics

August 11, 2022  Concerned Catholics in Nigeria have called for the suspension of Plateau State Governor Simon Bako Lalong for dragging the name of Pope into local politics that has nothing to do with the Church. According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Speaking as a press conference in Abuja addressed by National Convener/President, Dr Ben Amodu, said the concerned Catholics in Nigeria are alarmed that Lalong would elect to throw caution into the wind by dragging the revered Catholic Church into local politics in Nigeria for whatever it is worth. “The reference to the Pope in his statement for accepting to serve as the Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council was made in poor taste and a puerile attempt to drag the Catholic Church into a matter that has no bearing with...
