IGP Alkali Baba
Inspector General of Police (IGP), Alkali Baba, has berated governors who are clamouring for state police saying they are inviting anarchy.
Speaking at the Open Government Partnership Week in Abuja, the IGP said those governors asking for state police are doing so for selfish purpose because they want to use the instrument of state police against their political opponents.
The IGP, represented by Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Lemu Sanusi, said: “But state police will bring anarchy. Look at what is happening with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in Kaduna. With state police what will the situation be? If there is an armed robbery case, a governor cannot send state police. What the governors are looking for are instruments to defeat their political opponents.”
Fayose
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, launched fresh attack on President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday, saying he would be remembered like outgoing American president, Donald Trump.
The former governor said Nigerians could not wait to see the end of the regime of President Buhari, just as Americans look forward to the exit of Donald Trump.
“Buhari will be remembered like Trump because it is obvious that he is the low budget Trump when damages done to their countries are compared, Fayose tweeted.
Fayose alleged further that everything has been destroyed under the watch of President Buhari.
“Everything that matters has been destroyed under the watch of Buhari. All the values that we share as a country – economy, security, human rights, rule of law, credible elections, and unity of the country have been destroyed.
