Insecurity: PDP Governors Set To Meet Buhari

Governors elected under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have resolved to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari over the growing insecurity in the country.

In a resolution by PDP governors after their meeting on Thursday, the forum also alleged the politicisation of security apparatus in PDP-led states.

Reading a communique after the meeting on Friday morning, Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State expressed concern over the politicisation of security apparatus in some states allegedly by the federal government, and its agencies and the operatives of the All Progressives Congress in the various states.

He said, “The PDP governors express deep concern over the politicisation of security apparatus in every state by the federal government, and its agencies and the operatives of the other party in the various states that they are not in control of.

“We believe also that this is one of the reasons that you have this widespread insecurity. We will take up some of these issues when we interact with the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by tomorrow or any other date he gives.

“We support the growing call for the establishment of State Police as a response to the worsening security situation across the nation.”
