The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has kicked against the privatisation of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), describing it as part of the several schemes to cripple the North economically by shortchanging it in the process.
The spokesperson of the group, Mr. Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, stated this yesterday while addressing a press conference in Abuja, saying the planned privatisation of Calabar, Ihovbor, Olorunsogo and Geregu Power Plants by NDPHC would be resisted by the North.
He said having studied the proposal carefully, “CNG has concluded that it was the most dubious, unreasonable and unacceptable act of injustice that is being perpetrated against Nigerians collectively and northerners in particular.”
While some are in support of state police, believing that it would go a long way in tackling the security challenges bedevilling the country, others are of the view that it would become a tool in the hands of state governors to silence perceived enemies.
If the bill is passed by both chambers of the National Assembly, scales through other constitution review processes and assented to by the president, the current police system will be decentralised.
It also means the Nigeria Police Force will be moved from exclusive legislative to concurrent list in the constitution.
Agitations for state police had prompted many governors, especially in the southern part of the country to form security outfits either individually or collectively.
