Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Nigeria will not be able to end insecurity without state police, stating that without intelligence, the war against terrorism cannot be won.
Wike, who is a presidential aspirant in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), made this statement on Thursday, when he visited Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, to meet with the State delegates to the party’s national convention scheduled for month-end.
The governor noted that he believed strongly in restructuring, adding that the State Police was a panacea to the insecurity challenges facing the country, it was gathered.
Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, while receiving Wike at the Presidential Lodge of the Government House, Agodi, Ibadan, declared the support of South-West PDP delegates for the Rivers State governor. Makinde said: “I want to thank the delegates; but there is nothing much to say. If people say that Seyi Makinde and PDP delegates from the South-West of Nigeria are supporting Governor Wike, what would you tell them?
The Rivers State governor, who appreciated South-West PDP delegates for being his pillar of support, tasked Nigerians to allow an individual with character and integrity, who is firm, courageous and become the next president, stating that he remained the best candidate that the PDP could put forward as its presidential standard-bearer.
