Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu following the Senate’s passage of the constitutional amendment bill seeking the establishment of state police. He recently had his say via a press statement signed on Thursday, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Stressing that the passage of the bill represents one of the most significant reforms of the nation’s security architecture, the Governor stated that the decision has the potential to strengthen grassroots policing and improve public safety.
He concluded by describing the Senate’s approval of the bill’s 26 clauses as a landmark development in Nigeria’s democratic and security evolution.
His words, “Today is a great day for our country and a moment to celebrate the triumph of genuine democratic and developmental ideas over parochial sentiments.
State Police has been top of mind for President Tinubu since 1999, when he governed Lagos. We are happy to witness its emergence in Nigeria today.
The Senate has made history with this bold step. I urge the state assemblies to follow suit and ensure this important constitutional amendment becomes a reality.”
WOW.
