Governor Makinde who stated this in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today, faulted the 16 governors’ submission of a report on the matter to the National Economic Council (NEC).

LEADERSHIP recalls that NEC recently confirmed receiving memoranda from 16 governors who expressed their support for establishing state police.

The governors said state police would address the myriads of security challenges facing the nation.

However, 20 other governors were yet to forward their reports to enable the NEC to act on them.

In a swift reaction, Governor Makinde who said that he did not submit any memorandum on State Police said the submission was a waste of time.

“I did not submit any memorandum to state police. But my position is very clear about state police. I see it, quite frankly, as a waste of our time.

“I did not submit, not because of arrogance but because I don’t think the approach will quickly get us to where we want to go. You are asking the states to submit memoranda on how state police will work,” Makinde said.

The Oyo State governor said the issue of the state police could best be handled by the National Assembly and not the National Economic Council or the National Security Adviser.

He argued that the issue must pass through the parliament since it is a constitutional matter before being replicated at the state houses of assembly.

The governor said: “The National Assembly, they know what to do. They have people that can quickly do this work. It is not the National Security Adviser or the National Economic Council that will deal with the issue of state police.

“It is a constitutional thing and should go to the National Assembly. Then, at the state level, we get our state houses of assembly to pass this law,” Makinde said.
