State Police: Commendable Step, but Disorderly Legislation Raises Concerns of Political Misuse

The recent passage of the State Police Bill by the National Assembly marks a significant legislative milestone in addressing a long-standing demand of the Nigerian people. For years, many of us, alongside security experts and regional stakeholders, have consistently argued that a highly centralised policing structure is fundamentally unsuitable for a country as vast, diverse, and complex as Nigeria. However, the legislative and constitutional implementation appears shaky and raises legitimate concerns.

The process should involve greater community participation. Policing should be more visible at the local government and community levels. The mechanism for passing the law appears highly disorganised, with no public hearing on such a sensitive issue. Indeed, the rush to enact the law without proper legislative procedures fuels suspicion among many observers about the political motives behind it.

The greatest concern does not arise from logistical issues; it stems from history. There is a widespread, justifiable fear that state police forces could become instruments in the hands of governors. The suspicion is that a state-controlled police force could be weaponised to suppress political rivals, disrupt opposition rallies, and manipulate elections.

For state policing to evolve from a risky political gamble into a genuine security solution, the law must not only permit states to establish police forces but also clearly provide for independent oversight bodies, such as a state-level Police Service Commission that is entirely free from executive influence, to ensure that policing serves the public interest rather than the interests of the ruling elite.

Going by what Nigerians have seen so far, there is no guarantee that this administration can resist the temptation to take advantage of state policing to influence the 2027 general election by proxy. In view of that possibility and the danger it poses to the polity, it is necessary to defer its implementation until after the general election.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

He took fuel subsidy away from 230m citizens and shared it with 36 Governors because he needs them for his reelection.

So “fuel subsidy is gone” has been all about his 2027 aspiration?

@AsakyGRN Two truths can co-exist. You are trying to earn a living for yourself due to lack of jobs which is fine but that doesn’t invalidate the fact that a lot of younger ones are influenced negatively by what they see which is directly leading to a decline in intelect in our society

[Oṣóyínká 🪔 @sledge_baba]

All Ycee did was say the bitter truth about a topic a lot of people have been walking on eggshells around for years.

The aggressive decline in the academic sector isn't talked about enough, not in a country where the Jamb cut off mark is now 150.

Just 2010 here, anything below 200 will likely require you to retake the exam.

Today, all the average mind cares about is "He's making his money, education na scam" then we wonder why people make poor decisions everyday that could affect the lives of others.

Owning Up to Leadership Failures and Political Responsibility

This morning, I listened to the British Prime Minister’s speech announcing his planned resignation in July. As a keen observer of global politics, my primary interest lies in examining what successful nations do right and the structural factors that cause others to lag or struggle with governance and development.

The Prime Minister’s planned resignation comes amid mounting public frustration over a stagnant economy, a worsening cost-of-living crisis, and a perceived failure to honour key campaign pledges.

Looking inward in our dear country, we can recall our own situation. Before 2015, our President on several occasions championed the call for the then President Goodluck Jonathan to resign over economic hardship and insecurity affecting Nigerians. During the Chibok school kidnapping incident, he demanded the immediate resignation of President Jonathan, arguing that the government had failed in its most fundamental duty of protecting lives.

During the 2023 election campaign, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu made several promises, including improved electricity supply. He also challenged the electorate not to vote for him for a second term if he failed to deliver on those commitments—particularly in providing stable power, fighting corruption, and improving the welfare of Nigerians.

At present, however, these conditions have worsened. Electricity supply remains unreliable, insecurity has intensified in many areas, including kidnappings, and economic hardship has deepened rather than eased. Similar concerns are reflected across other critical sectors such as security, infrastructure, transportation, and anti-corruption efforts, all of which have regressed. We are in the worst possible condition.

I, therefore, join Nigerians of goodwill in calling for the resignation of the President over monumental failure in governance. Such a gesture would help enthrone a political culture rooted in accountability and responsibility, rather than further entrenching impunity. It would also send a powerful message that public office is a sacred trust, not an entitlement, and help build a society in which future leaders understand that failure carries consequences. Only by ending the culture of impunity can we secure a better future for the society our children will inherit in a New Nigeria that is possible. -PO

"Next International Uk as at the day I was declared Governor received an overdraft of over $7m dollars & had over 200 containers on the sea. I phoned my wife and told her to take charge and subsequently resigned from a total of 11 companies on that day" - Peter Obi NDC presidential Candidate.

[Jose @officiall_Josef]

He has his flaws. And I obviously don't know much about his private life. But with what I have seen so far, this man right here should be the role model for all Nigerian youths.

The humility he has, even after accumulating all this wealth is the sort that is rarely found in our current society.

Integrity ✔️
Empathy ✔️
Humility ✔️

He embodies all the qualities that an average Nigerian politician will never have.

2027, I will vote him again. His principles strongly align with mine. If I don't vote him, I will not have peace of mind. If he gets only one vote, then it will definitely be mine.

[Kunle Kenny -The Joy Dispenser @kunle_kenny]

I just want to state that you have to be a fool if you detest Peter Obi. His emergence on the scene has exposed fools who pretend to love righteousness.
