For decades, Nigerians have cried out for a security system that understands our communities, responds faster to threats & protect lives without waiting for directives from Abuja.
Today, the Senate’s passage of the State Police bill brings that dream one step closer to reality.
There Are Safeguards To Address Abuse Of State Police — Gov Sani
Sani said he strongly believed that the establishment of state police would be embraced by Nigerians, adding that there was nothing political about the proposal.

From the farms plagued by insecurity to communities living in fear of kidnappers and criminals, every Nigerian deserves safety, peace, and the freedom to pursue their dreams. The journey is far from over, but this is a significant step in the right direction.
@adeyanjudeji Delegating responsibility is one thing; surrendering it entirely is another. His job is to assess, interrogate, and take ownership of appointments not merely rubber-stamp a party list.
@adeyanjudeji If Peter Obi could publicly admit that APGA handed him a list of commissioners as Governor of Anambra and he simply announced it without rigorous scrutiny or questioning, it tells you a lot about his approach to leadership.
I am not asking for a level playing field. I am asking for a ground. I was told repeatedly that I came late into the NDC.

I REJECT THE CONCOCTED RESULTS OF THE ADC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries yesterday, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced.
I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word. I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party.
There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. Then what makes us different from the others? The whole idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion.
A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable!
